The Faustino Pérez Hernández Rehabilitation Hospital of Sancti Spiritus, one of the two of its kind in Cuba, has guaranteed the recovery of thousands of patients for more than 20 years.

This facility is responsible for the specialized treatment of the disabled population of the territory, although it also extends to other regions since the results achieved in its 29 years of operation allow caring for people from other areas of the country.
