These two health institutions will be expanded with new areas such as a kitchen and two wards for pediatric and renal patients. In addition, Trinidad’s hospital will receive 13 artificial kidneys from a French donation.

Hospitals, polyclinics, pharmacies, dental clinics, and maternity homes are among the facilities to be bettered this year in Sancti Spiritus. The construction of the new Molecular Biology Laboratory is also included in this budget.
