In brief: IDB finances trauma hospital in Honduras

* 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”.
