These days are being held weekly so that we can be more effective in meeting the needs of Carabobeños and Carabobeñas,” said Carmen Cecilia Vásquez, general director of the health center.

While Rosmely Castellanos, head of the hospital's ophthalmology service, specified that several eye studies are carried out in these facilities, allowing for a greater reach in patient care.
