The Cuban government expects these to be up and operating in three months in several provincial capitals in the eastern and western regions, including Trinidad. Several mayors express gratitude.

THE Cuban government has concretized the donation of 23 Level II hospitals for an equal number of municipalities in the departments of Santa Cruz, Oruro, La Paz, Cochabamba, Potosí and Beni, to improve health care for local residents, according to the Agencia Boliviana de Noticias.

Cuban Ambassador Rafael Daussá in Bolivia explained that of the 23 donated hospitals, 10, in three municipalities, would be fully equipped; 10 would include equipment and personnel; and three would be allocated for the national police.
