Visit to the Valterra Radiology room
In addition, the Deputy Minister of Health, Carlos Díaz, accompanied by the manager and directors of Primary Care of the Management, visited the remodeled Radiology room of the Valterra Health Center.
This device will be operational again from this Monday, February 10, after the completion of the adaptation works for the installation of a new, fully digital and robotized radiodiagnostic equipment.
