“The emotion of older people and representatives of clubs or neighborhood associations such as Justiniano de Cotasaya or Santiago Colchane is transmitted through their eyes. And that same joy of being able to have this center that will be able to receive 174 men and 134 women, is what runs through all of us who promote this type of initiatives that translate into works linked to social and territorial well-being,” said the maxim. regional authority, who gave further references to the infrastructure that has hospital elements for the greater comfort of its beneficiaries.
