Reinforcement of State Government equipment benefits municipal hospital delivered in Melgaço
The renovated unit strengthens the health care network in Marajó and will continue to receive investments in infrastructure and technology through the Government
While fulfilling an agenda in the Marajó archipelago, on this Thursday (10), the State governor participated in the official delivery of the Municipal Hospital of Melgaço, renovated by the municipal administration. This action represents another advance in the strategies for the interiorization of public health and reinforces the commitment to expanding access to quality care for the Marajoara population.
During the ceremony, it was announced that a new and modern X-ray machine will be delivered later this year, in addition to the implementation of a neonatal stabilization room and the structuring of a surgical room. The spaces will be equipped with equipment provided by the State Department of Public Health (Sespa). These equipment must be requested by the Municipality of Melgaço, strengthening the partnership between the State and the municipality.
In his speech, the governor highlighted the commitment to continue equipping the unit. “Today we delivered, together with the city mayor, the renovation of the Municipal Hospital of Melgaço. The hospital is very well structured. I, along with Vice Governor Hana, committed to equipping this hospital. Still this year, we will deliver a new and modern X-ray machine. With a well-structured hospital, the population does not need to leave the city to access quality health care. Count on us, count on our work to provide more health to the people of Marajó,” he stated.
Equipment already delivered - The municipality of Melgaço had already been benefited, in May of this year, with the delivery of equipment carried out by the State Government to the 17 municipalities of the archipelago. Each municipality received a kit containing an ultrasound machine, two multiparameter monitors, and a complete dental chair. Melgaço will also be benefited with an X-ray machine, expanding the diagnostic capacity of the municipal health network.
The State Secretary of Health, Ivete Gadelha Vaz, highlighted the importance of the delivery for strengthening primary and specialized care in the interior. “We know that the demand for quality care is always growing, and that is why we constantly work to expand and strengthen services. With the new equipment, municipalities gain more autonomy and response capacity,” she stated.
More health - The action is part of the set of strategies of the Government of Pará aimed at the interiorization of public health, with the goal of ensuring greater equity in access to essential services. The expansion of the care network and the delivery of equipment strengthen the technical capacity of municipalities, promoting closer, faster, and more effective care for users of the Unified Health System (SUS).
With the structural reinforcement that the Government is providing to the hospital, Melgaço now has a unit better prepared to serve its population, reducing the need for travel and offering more safety in health care for residents.
