NOBOA TOURS GUAYAQUIL’S PRINCIPAL HOSPITALS



PRIAN List 7 candidate for President of the Republic,  Álvaro Noboa, together with his running mate, Dr. Annabella Azín, toured the principal hospitals of the city of Guayaquil, to observe their state of need.

In statements to the press, Noboa declared:  “My wife, Dr. Annabella Azín, will be in charge of the area of healthcare in our government. Today we are conducting a tour of the most important hospitals in Guayaquil, beginning in the Roberto Gilbert Children’s Hospital. Later we will go to the Social Security Hospital, “Teodoro Maldonado Carbo” and, finally, the suburban hospital, Abel Gilbert.

“Our policy in regards to healthcare is that hospitals should be specialized throughout the country. One hospital can dedicate itself to the area of heart care; another hospital can dedicate itself to the area of cancer; another hospital can dedicate itself to trauma care, etc.  And for rural people, we believe that they need traveling medical brigades so that they can, in the case of an emergency, be attended to in their own farms and neighborhoods. This is our plan, but now we are going to talk to the directors of these hospitals, to exchange ideas and opinions and to see what their requirements are and the manner in which we can help them during our presidency.”
