Nasry Asfura denies ENEE privatization and addresses health policy
Honduran President Nasry Asfura has addressed several key national issues, including energy, health, and military commemorations. During a recent interview, Asfura explicitly denied rumors regarding the privatization of the National Electric Energy Company (ENEE), stating that the government intends to recover the state enterprise despite its 118 billion lempira debt.
Regarding public health, the President emphasized that healthcare remains a state responsibility. To address surgical backlogs, the administration is forming temporary alliances with 16 private hospitals while working to renovate public facilities. Additionally, the government has introduced 46 new scholarships for medical specialization abroad and is conducting 'Health Caravans' to provide services in various regions.
In ceremonial matters, Asfura presided over the 161st anniversary of the Honduran Naval Force, where he pledged to increase technological and equipment capabilities for maritime security. He also led the official flag-raising ceremony alongside First Lady Lissette del Cid de Asfura, marking the beginning of the country's Independence Month celebrations.
