* The Honduran government has signed a loan of US$53.82m with the Inter-American Development Bank (IDB) to finance the construction of a new trauma hospital that will provide services to Tegucigalpa and the central-southeast region of the country. The new trauma hospital will “
boost living standards and enhance care for patients with external injuries” on top of alleviating the workload at the university hospital. The loan is divided into two disbursements: an initial one of US$21.53m and a second of US$32.29m. Inversión Estratégica de Hoduras (Invest-H) will manage the construction of the hospital. Honduras’s President
Juan Orlando Hernández, who served as witness to the signing, thanked IDB for the loan and promised to pay back “
every last cent”.
