The Health Ministry has strongly refuted recent claims that construction on the La General Hospital has come to a standstill. In an official statement, the Ministry reassured the public that significant progress has been made in the project over the past few weeks.
“We wish to confirm unequivocally that the La General Hospital project has not halted,” the statement emphasized.
This clarification follows media reports suggesting a stoppage in construction activities. The Ministry reaffirmed the government’s commitment to ensuring the timely completion of the healthcare facility, which is vital for both the local community and the broader healthcare system.
In response to concerns regarding possible delays, the Ministry explained that the contractor in charge of the project recently submitted a payment certificate, a standard procedure for government-funded initiatives.
“This certificate is currently being processed by the Ministry. It is essential to note that these procedures are routine, ensuring transparency and compliance with financial protocols,” the statement continued.
“This in no way indicates a halt of the project; rather, it is a necessary step to guarantee the continuity of work.”
The Health Ministry also highlighted its ongoing collaboration with relevant stakeholders to closely monitor and facilitate the progress of the La General Hospital, aiming for its timely completion.
Additionally, the Ministry urged media organizations to verify information before publishing reports that could incite public anxiety.
