    Ciego de Ávila: Continúa remodelación en el Hospital Antonio Luaces

    The completion of several works and the continuity of an investment program at the Doctor Antonio Luaces Iraola Provincial General Teaching Hospital, in Ciego de Ávila, shows the commitment of the Health sector to guarantee greater benefits that raise the quality of services in installation.

    The center, which reached 70 years of its creation in November, introduced important structural transformations during 2021, despite facing a complex situation due to the COVID-19 pandemic, which allowed it to increase in-hospital capacities.

    Alberto Moronta Enrique, director of the institution, highlighted among the actions with the greatest impact the opening of the Human Milk Bank and the Provincial Center for Medical Genetics; as well as the rehabilitation of the Provincial Center for Diabetic Education and Care, with the addition of a Hormone Detection laboratory.

    The Neonatology and Curettage service rooms, the operating room, the Emerging Intensive Care Unit (UCIE), the Delivery and Cesarean Section and Burns, and the Pediatric Guard Corps received maintenance during the period, in addition to the administrative areas, the Protocol Room and the hospital theater, he pointed out.

    Speaking to the Cuban News Agency, Moronta Enrique explained that as a result of an exchange with Cuban Vice Prime Minister Jorge Luis Tapia Fonseca, the investment project underway was modified to build a pediatric hospital in its place.

    He specified that the space where the clinical laboratories, Microbiology, and the classrooms for the teaching system were planned will be used, which will allow to fulfill an old desire of the people of Ciego de Ávila to have an institution dedicated to child care, with about 170 beds.

    The new project will have, on the ground floor, a pediatric Guard Corps, external consultations, an emergency room and waiting rooms; while on the second level there will be two operating rooms, a Surgical Specialties room and a Pediatric Intensive room with an increase in current capacities.

    For the third floor, the location of areas for the different specialties with open services is foreseen; while the fourth floor is reserved for the rooms with infectious diseases, the Milk Bank, classrooms and administrative areas.

    The work, scheduled to be completed in 2023, will increase the capacities of the hospital complex from around 500 to 700 today.
