Through the use of science and technological innovation, the Holguin Provincial Electromedicine Center guarantees the operation and continued functionality of hospital equipment, one of the institution’s top priorities.
Alexander Baños Argudín, the center’s technical sub-director, told CNA that the necessary spare parts are becoming more expensive. Due to the coercive measures of the U.S. economic, commercial, and financial blockade against Cuba. Which prevent the direct purchase of these components.
He explained that these conditions make it difficult to acquire the parts, which must be purchased through third countries with high transportation costs. Therefore, solutions are being implemented to ensure that the equipment remains operational.
The expert explained that these adaptations take into account the operating principles of the medical devices and the guarantees for optimal patient care. Especially in services such as CT scans and intensive care units.
Currently, a team of specialists is working on restoring the CT scanner at the Vladimir Ilich Lenin University Teaching Hospital. One of the most in-demand services in specialties such as oncology and internal medicine, Baños Argudín noted.
Also the cobalt therapy device at the Holguin Territorial Cancer Center and the hemodialysis and X-ray machines have also been repaired, he added.
The Provincial Electromedicine Center provides technical services for all types of equipment. Including installation, advising medical and paramedical personnel on its use and applications. As well as repair and management of this equipment.
