From today's Sosua News:
[h=5]The inhabitants of the town of Sos?a, with a population of more than sixty thousand inhabitants, continue their struggle for the promised construction of a public hospital (hospital p?blico). This writes F?lix Corona, press officer of the municipality of Sos?a. He continues: In Sos?a live more than 50 different nationalities and there are thousands of tourists present in the village. It is incomprehensible that there is no public hospital. In case of an emergency (traffic accidents, heart attack, etc.) victims have to be brought to the private clinic (CMC) or to Puerto Plata.[/h]
[h=5]An ambulance needs more than 45 minutes to make it to Puerto Plata, in many cases this takes too long. Saturday 28 April 2012 the former President Leonel Fern?ndez, in the company of the former Health Minister Bautista Rojas G?mez and many notables brought a visit to Sos?a. In the presence of thousands of residents, with a pickaxe the former President hit the ground at where the new hospital was supposed to be constructed. This piece of land is located near to the La Uni?n neighborhood, part of Sos?a. Leonel Fern?ndez said that for the construction of the hospital with 81 beds, and a first aid station $ 27 million was available. Then on May 20, 2012 it was election day for a new president. And the promised hospital? In the field where the hospital was supposed to be constructed remained only a few weeds and a board. The board and the heap of gravel have recently been stolen.
A public hospital for Sos?a?
It remains an empty election promise![/h]
