President Danilo Medina was in La Altagracia province for the inauguration of the remodelled Doctora Evangelina Rodriguez Perozo Public Hospital that services the municipality of San Rafael del Yuma and nearby areas. As reported by the Presidency, the remodelling had been promised to the community during a Sunday visit by Medina to the area.
As reported, modern equipment was installed so that the community members do not have to travel to Higuey for medical services that require X rays, sonography and other diagnostics. The hospital has 14 beds. Carmen Guerrero, director of the hospital, said it will benefit around 22,000 inhabitants in San Rafael de Yuma, as well as those in Benerito, Boca de Yuma, Bayahibe, Los Bateyes, Chavón and Los Negros.
