Joining forces with Mackay Surgical Works to Eliminate Sanitary Queues | Capital of energy and pride to be Macanese

In Macae, a city within Rio de Janeiro, the city council has been doing unprecedented work in the health field. Through the Minister of Health, the government has made many joint efforts to eliminate the queue for procedures in different areas of the city.

As is the case with cataracts, which have added to the huge queue with demand for many years. In just one day, 43 patients were operated on, as is the case of 83-year-old Edu Correa.

“I’ve been waiting so long to have the surgery in Rio and I think it was great to be called to do it here in my home city. I’m getting better every day.”

The procedure represents a new stage in the ophthalmology care provided by the Department of Health, where he said: “Since July until now, we have already counted about 500 procedures performed in this field, including consultations, pre-operative examinations, ultrasounds, and others.

“We are moving forward with the Hospital de Olhos project to provide residents with the care they deserve when it comes to health,” said Primary Care Minister Natalia Antunes.

Another important area that received the health “staff” was pediatrics. According to the secretary of high and medium complexity, the sector has already reduced the waiting list for phimosis and inguinal hernia surgeries by 90%. “Today we finished another cast and this time for pediatric surgery.

A total of 32 children underwent surgeries. I am very happy with the result and thank the team that worked so that we can achieve this gain for our city.
