The adviser to President Daniel Ortega for social affairs, Dr. Guillermo Gonzalez, said that collaboration is part of the agreements signed recently at talks among officials from both governments in Moscow.
According to Gonzalez, the Russian Federation will donate financial and technological resources to build a 303-bed hospital at a total cost of 41 million USD, in eastern Managua.
The facility will operate as a center for the development of telemedicine, but there is a Russian project to incorporate these benefits through a provisional communication system, without waiting for the new work to be completed, said Gonzalez.
Through videoconferences, physicians in distant regions of the country will be able to access and exchange information when diagnosing and treating complex diseases, thus improving health care and the doctors training, he said.
