In Chiquimula, the capacity of beds will be increased from 170 to 214, while in Solol\u00e1, it will double from 123 to 268 beds.<\/p>\n\n<p>The estimated investment for the Hospital de Chiquimula is USD 33,641,077.93 and for the Hospital de Solol\u00e1, USD 35,127,961.85, financed in part by a loan from the Central American Bank for Economic Integration.<\/p>\n\n<p>This project represents a complete transformation of the hospital infrastructure. In Chiquimula, an additional 10,500 square meters will be built, and in Solol\u00e1, sections were demolished to create 14,457 square meters new.<\/p>\n\n<p>A FastTrack methodology will be used to expedite construction, which could allow the completion of major works between July and August 2024.<\/p>\n\n<p>The extensions will include differentiated emergency areas, diagnostic facilities, laboratories, radiology and well-equipped operating theatres. This project represents a significant improvement in health care at both departmental and regional levels.<\/p>\n\n<p>In the words of Irayda Ruiz, &#8220;Every quetzal in these projects has been well invested in something priceless, the health of the Guatemalan population.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-group has-medium-font-size is-vertical is-content-justification-center is-nowrap is-layout-flex wp-container-core-group-is-layout-fc169830 wp-block-group-is-layout-flex\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-video aligncenter\"><video height=\"480\" style=\"aspect-ratio: 848 \/ 480;\" width=\"848\" controls=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/www.vielca.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/SOLOLA.mp4\" playsinline=\"\"><\/video><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>An exciting breakthrough in improving medical care has been launched in Chiquimula and Solol\u00e1.
