[dipsydoodle]

Caracas, Jan 25 (Prensa Latina) The Bolivarian Alliance for the Peoples of Our America, ALBA will build in Haiti a better health infrastructure that guarantees medical assistance to the victims of quake-hit Haiti, Venezuelan Health Minister Carlos Rotondaro reported Monday.

Venezuelan official told Prensa Latina that the regional bloc will work in the recovery of hospitals and will push on the construction of Centers for Complete Diagnostics.

We have also installed there several floating hospitals, where Cuban and Venezuelan physicians have offered more than 23,000 consults, he said.

According to Rotondaro, those hospitals will also contribute to improve the life of those quake-hit victims, besides offering health assistance in Haiti.

3. It would mean perfect sense. That's what seemed a natural meaning to me, as well,

especially since their first temporary hospital was placed right next to the city's hospital days ago.
