The information was provided by the Minister of Health, Sílvia Lutucuta, who visited the construction site of the new hospital this week.
"The hemodialysis service will start immediately, which will be the first service here in the province, so hemodialysis patients from the province of Cunene will start receiving dialysis here from next week, Wednesday, even before the inauguration", said the Minister of Health, quoted by Rádio Nacional de Angola (RNA).
The new hospital will have 220 beds and will offer a wide range of services. According to the minister, the services include, for example, highly complex complementary examinations, operating rooms, among others.
"We have highly complex complementary examinations such as CT scans, orthopantomography, mammography, ultrasounds, x-rays, and we also have the capacity to perform contrast examinations", she pointed out.
"We have six operating rooms, one of which is for minor surgeries connected to the emergency department, we have a damage control operating room in the emergency department, we have four rooms in the central block, one of which is capable of performing minimally invasive surgery and another room that is equipped for trauma basically anywhere with the capacity to use radioscopy equipment," she added, quoted by RNA.
It should be noted that last week, the President of the Republic, João Lourenço, had already announced that this hospital in Cunene would open in two weeks.
