Subsequent phases will include creation of operating rooms, a nursing station, biopsy room, and recovery rooms with modern equipment and 23 beds.

The first phase of completion of surgical centre’s renovation work was inaugurated by Secretary of Health Arita Bergmann.

Cachoeira do Sul deputy mayor Ângela Schumacher Schuh said: “With the inauguration of the surgical block, this project for the hospital of the future is being put into practice. 

“The hospital is approaching 120 years and in these 120 years the community has always responded to the needs of having a hospital that welcomes everyone.”

The hospital’s surgical centre project is also benefited from R$2m in funds from the Avançar na Saúde programme for acquiring new equipment for the current three operating rooms.

Over a period of ten years, the hospital had seen a 70% surge in surgeries performed – from an average of 335 monthly procedures to 573 monthly.
