The Children's Hospital Lucidio Portela (HILP), Teresina (PI), zeroed the waiting list for pediatric surgery. To achieve the result, 600 procedures were performed in the last three months, with operating rooms and ICU working at full capacity. The unit will now perform collaborative efforts to avoid the initiation of a new queue. The next will is scheduled for August 18.
"If a mother was unable to perform the surgery your child is because we had problems with the registration of that child, for location. What, however, will not prevent the surgery and care of this child: just a parent looking for us to solve the problem promptly, "said the director general of HILP, Edinaldo Miranda.
The hospital also announced innovations in other areas: the framework for pediatric ward has been recomposed, began the operation of the service of pediatric orthopedics, and equipment were purchased to perform laparoscopic surgery in children and pediatric urology.
According to the State Department of Health of Piaui (Sesapi) as a result of the work, the capital Teresina was chosen by the Brazilian Society of Pediatric Surgery to host the next National Congress of Pediatric Surgery in August 2013.
