A large shipment of high-tech medical equipment and supplies was officially delivered to the Dr. Luis Razetti Hospital Complex in Tucupita this Friday, with the aim of enhancing care in the public health system of Delta Amacuro state.
The sole health authority in the state, Dr. Yajaira Segovia, confirmed that the donation was made possible through the coordinated effort between the Ministry of Popular Power for Health, the Governor's Office of Delta Amacuro state, and the Mayor's Office of the municipality of Tucupita.
The allocation allowed for the immediate reinforcement of services at the region's main healthcare center, encompassing both the central hospital and the maternal and child hospital.
With this equipment, the authorities were able to enable all the operating rooms to increase the response capacity in surgical interventions.
Among the equipment awarded are a C-arm, adult and pediatric anesthesia machines, surgical electrocautery units, videolaryngoscopes, surgical tables, and surgical lights. In the life support and emergency area, infusion pumps, defibrillators, and multiparameter monitors were added.
The clinical laboratory was also modernized with hematology analyzers, coagulometers, centrifuges, and microscopes, while the inpatient wards gained new clinical and gynecological beds. To protect the equipment against potential power outages, the shipment included uninterruptible power supply (UPS) units of varying capacities.
