The High Technology Center (CAT) of March 10, located in the Carlos Soublette parish of La Guaira state, is fully operational again after the completion of rehabilitation work carried out after the earthquake of June 24, reported the governor of La Guaira, José Alejandro Terán.
During an inspection of the facilities, Terán explained that the CAT (Center for Attention to Victims) had been classified with a yellow label by the Presidential Commission on Habitability after the earthquake. However, following structural and corrective interventions carried out by teams from the health department, the Ministry of Public Works, and the Governor's office, the infrastructure was recertified with a green label.
“It is now ready to provide service, completely rehabilitated. All its walls have been restored and there is no longer any danger to the habitability or to the staff who work here,” he assured.
The work included the restoration of masonry, repair of affected areas and adaptation of internal services, allowing the restoration of safe conditions for workers and users.
The reactivation of the CAT is especially relevant because it is a reference center for specialized studies such as magnetic resonance imaging, tomography, ultrasound and mammography, services that are fundamental for the timely diagnosis of various pathologies.
In addition to the infrastructure recovery, the regional leader announced that the Ministry of Popular Power for Health is taking steps to renew the high-tech equipment, especially the tomograph and the magnetic resonance imaging machine, equipment that has served the population of Guairá for several years.
The commissioning of the CAT adds to the set of works that the National and regional Government is currently developing to strengthen the response capacity of the public health system in La Guaira, within the framework of the recovery after the earthquake.
The regional leader highlighted that these actions are part of a comprehensive plan that also includes improvements to the Macuto Maternity Hospital, the Pariata Peripheral Hospital, the Eudoro González Hospital in Carayaca, and various health centers in the state, with the goal of ensuring safe, modern, and fully operational facilities for the care of the population.
