Hemodialysis services resume in Baracoa and expand in Tingo María

In Baracoa, Cuba, the hemodialysis service at the Octavio de la Concepción y de la Pedraja Hospital has resumed operations as of November 9. The service had been interrupted for several days due to technological equipment issues, according to Rafael Wilson Pérez, the Director of Public Health for the Guantánamo province.

In Tingo María, Peru, a new hemodialysis center in Supte is prepared to begin operations in the coming days. The facility, located within the Tingo María Hospital, features a three-story infrastructure with specialized environments and a water treatment room. The center is expected to serve more than 60 patients, reducing the need for residents in the Leoncio Prado area to travel to the city of Huánuco for treatment.
