What are the main actions of the Positive Agenda in the health area?
Basic Health Units have been constructed in the Palmeiras and Maracanã districts, as has a Mixed Unit in Vila Muirapinima, or Juruti Velho. New x-ray equipment, an autoclave, a hospital washing machine and drier, a spin-drier and a linen presser have been acquired for the Francisco Barros Municipal Hospital, which is also being extended and refurbished by the Positive Agenda. The hospital will have a mixed unit, a Medical Out-patient Care Center and Mother-Infant In-patient Unit. At present the Juruti Community Hospital is also being built; this will serve as a benchmark for medium and high level complex care.
