The result of the analysis carried out by the Casanare Chamber of Commerce for the creation of a Health Cluster was presented in Yopal.
Constanza Vega Departmental Health Secretary, reported that it is a job that they have been doing for 6 months with more than 400 health providers, EPS, IPS and the private and public network, which could join unions and improve the demand for services, seeking an organized growth that responds not only to Casanare, but also to the neighboring departments.
At this time the sector is being affected by the lack of specialists and the few beds for specialized medicine, added to this, the high infant and perinatal mortality rates do not allow services to grow.
