President Luis Abinader declared this Saturday in Santiago that at the time they will analyze what they will do with the companies that manufacture vaccines against the coronavirus that have failed to comply with the Dominican State.
“This is a very delicate issue … not only have they failed to comply with the Dominican government, they have failed to comply with many governments and we will analyze in due course what to do,” said the president when supervising the vaccination process carried out by the Ministry of Public Health in the peripheral hospital of Bella Vista, southwest of Santiago.
The head of state said that the national immunization plan is being applied in compliance with what was planned.
He urged the population to continue going to the immunization points to receive the vaccine.
“This vaccination is what will allow us to seal, from a health point of view, to relaunch the economy to find jobs, so we are working every day,” he said.
The head of state announced that in the coming days one million more vaccines will arrive in the country, with which phase one of the national immunization plan among the population over 60 years of age will finish.
Luis Abinader is in the Santiago province, doing an extensive workday.
The president’s agenda began in the municipality of San José de las Matas, where he handed over the general strength of brigades Bartolomé Mejía, whose facilities will house the second Infantry Brigade of the Dominican Republic Army (ERD).
During the ceremony, Major General Julio Ernesto Florián Pérez, the ERD’s general commander, highlighted the importance of the new facilities that will allow greater accommodation capacity for personnel, with the intention of improving the conditions in which soldiers provide services.
He explained that now the Army will also be able to have a greater presence in the area to contribute to the development of ecological tourism, the security of protected areas and the care of the environment.
In the same way, the members of the Army will support the National Police in San José de las Matas fighting illegal acts, especially preventing illegal immigration from the country’s border.
Hospital
In that same municipality of the Santiago province, President Abinader started the construction work of a new hospital.
The president guaranteed that the health center will be completed by mid-2022.
The hospital, built in an area of more than three thousand square meters, will be built by the National Housing Institute (Invi).
Carlos Bonilla, director of Invi, reported that the government will invest 433 million pesos in the construction of the hospital work.
He explained that the health center will have 28 beds, of which three will be for intensive care and six for emergency.
In addition, it will have a neonatal ICU unit, two laboratories, a dental area, delivery room, imaging, pharmacy and two operating rooms.
The work will generate 300 direct jobs in the municipality.
Title delivery
At the end of this act, the head of state traveled by helicopter to the La Canela municipal district, to lead the delivery of 460 property titles to the same number of families in the communities of that demarcation.
The demarcation works were carried out by the Permanent Commission for Land Titling of the State (CPTTE) and the Dominican Agrarian Institute (IAD) in Los Almácigos, Cuesta Arena, Quijá Quieta and La Joya.
