When intervening in the sworn-in act of newly appointed health sector officials, Job Capapinha asked for more commitment and dedication from professionals, in favor of the well-being of the population.
On the occasion, the official recognized that the province needs more hospitals and health centres, justifying that the Executive is working to respond to the demand registered in the health units.
