Vladimir Platonow - Reporter for Agência Brasil - President Dilma Rousseff's agenda includes two inaugurations in Rio de Janeiro today (30). In the afternoon, she is scheduled to participate, at 15:30 pm, in the municipality of Saquarema, in the Lakes Region, in the ceremony that will mark the start of activities at the Lagos State Hospital.
The hospital will benefit residents of Saquarema and neighboring cities, where approximately 2,3 million people live. The focus will be on orthopedic-surgical trauma care, high-risk maternity care, and surgical gynecology. Specialized imaging services will be offered, such as computed tomography, ultrasound, mammography, echocardiography, and X-rays, by appointment through the municipal health departments.
There will be 56 inpatient beds, ten adult ICU beds, ten neonatal ICU beds, and five semi-intensive care unit beds. 450 healthcare and support staff were hired. The investment reached R$ 46 million.
Next, Dilma is scheduled to travel to the state capital to inaugurate the Zé Keti and Ismael Silva residential complexes, built through the Minha Casa, Minha Vida (My House, My Life) program on the site of the former Frei Caneca Prison in the central region. These complexes comprise 998 housing units, intended for families with incomes up to R$ 1.600,00.
There are 24 five-story blocks, with apartments of 43 square meters, divided into two bedrooms, living room, kitchen, bathroom, and service area, with ceramic flooring throughout. One of the blocks was designated for indigenous people who occupied the old Indian Museum building at the beginning of last year and were removed by the Military Police. Priority was also given to residents of favelas in areas at risk of landslides. The total investment reached R$ 62,8 million.
On Tuesday (1st), Dilma is expected to remain in Rio for the inauguration of the Arco Metropolitano, a highway linking six municipalities in the region, and the ceremony that will mark the extraction of the first 500 barrels of pre-salt oil, at Petrobras headquarters.
