Enhancing the medical care of the vulnerable Sucre population by improving the hospitalization and operating room services at the Georges Duez Hospital (GDH)
IPTKBackground Information
Background Information: The proposal arises as a continuation of the project “Strengthening the care and rehabilitation capabilities of the George Duez IPTK Hospital – Sucre in response to the negative consequences of COVID19”. This project resulted in the strengthening of post-pandemic patient care and the raising of awareness on the part of the Sucre population of the importance of good health care and disease prevention. As a result, the most vulnerable part of the Sucre population now requires improved surgical care in the operating room and better hospitalization. The Georges Duez Hospital should bolster its patient services to provide quality health care, personalized service and timely care to these groups with access to health care.
