Bolivia

Justification

This project arises as a continuity of the project “Strengthening the Intermediate Therapy Unit of the George Duez Hospital” financed by the Oñati City Council in 2020 and which allowed improving the attention capacity of the HGD in the face of the impact of Covid-19 in Sucre given the emergency latent, which eventually brought to light another problem: the effects and sequelae that the virus leaves in infected people.
