This center, along with the renovations of the Los Cacaos CPN in Tenares and the Comedero Abajo CPN in Fantino, represents a government effort to decentralize medical services and bring preventive care closer to rural areas.

With the inauguration of this First Level Center, we take another step so that families have dignified, accessible, and quality health services, strengthening a network that responds to the real needs of our people.
