Health infrastructure projects inaugurated in Argentina and Chile

Several regional health infrastructure projects have been inaugurated to strengthen primary care. In San Juan, Argentina, Governor Marcelo Orrego inaugurated the expansion and renovation of the Las Talas Primary Health Care Center (CAPS) in Caucete. The project, funded by provincial resources, increased the facility's surface area to 197.29 m² and added services such as gynecology, dentistry, and social work to support over 400 residents.

In Florencio Varela, Argentina, the ‘San Jorge’ CAPS was completed. The 715 m² facility includes 14 consultation rooms for specialties like pediatrics and obstetrics, a pharmacy, and an emergency sector with a shock room and observation rooms. This project is part of a provincial strategy to improve local sanitary networks.

In Puerto Montt, Chile, authorities inaugurated the new CESFAM and SAR Angelmó. The modern facility aims to strengthen primary care and expand the response capacity of the regional health network. The project was supported by the Los Lagos Regional Government, which provided funding for the land acquisition.
