The Hospital Regional de Patos in Paraíba has undergone recent developments regarding its diagnostic capacity and emergency service volume.

In late September, the facility received a new 80-channel tomograph to expand diagnostic imaging for the Sertão region. Federal Deputy Hugo Motta noted the equipment aims to “better meet regional demand and reduce the need for patient travel to other areas for specialized services.” An MRI machine was also expected to arrive in October.

By early October, the Complexo Hospitalar Regional Deputado Janduhy Carneiro reported high levels of activity, recording 293 emergency and urgent care attendances over a single weekend. During this period, the hospital performed 13 surgical procedures and admitted 56 individuals for hospitalization and continued treatment.
