Healthcare infrastructure projects advance in Paraguay and Argentina

Infrastructure developments are underway for healthcare facilities in Paraguay and Argentina. In Paraguay, construction is progressing on the Hospital General de Curuguaty. The facility is designed to serve approximately 250,000 residents in the Canindeyú department and neighboring regions, reducing the need for patient transfers to the capital, Asunción. The hospital will feature 110 inpatient beds, 16 intensive care beds, 19 consultation rooms, four operating rooms, and eight hemodialysis stations, alongside maternity and diagnostic services.

In Argentina, 110 seismic isolators arrived from Turkey for the construction of the new Notti Hospital Ambulatory Center. The equipment, costing over 1 million USD, was provided by TIS Earthquake Technologies Industry and Trade Inc. This technology will allow the building to absorb energy during seismic events, protecting both the structure and sensitive medical instruments. This marks the first public hospital in Argentina to implement such a seismic isolation system.
