Clinics do not open due to architectural flaws

El Siglo reports that errors of architectural design have impeded the start of operation of three clinics in Santiago, built by the past government at a reported cost of RD$100 million. Deputy Minister of Health Plutarco Arias said that in one of the clinics, the kitchen was built beside the laboratory, in another the laundry was located on the third floor and in another, three transformers were located in the basement, while the surgery room faces the street where it is exposed to noise and dust.
