For the first time, Tony Facio Hospital has a CT scanner and it is already working.
With the new tomography service, authorities aim to offer quality, opportunity and precision of the diagnostic studies that are conducted in that hospital.
According to information from the Costa Rican Social Security Fund (CCSS), with this device, up to 20 daily studies are already carried out.
