Deputy Mayor Serginho stressed the importance of the new vehicle for patients’ routine and municipal management.
“Many people leave home at three in the morning to arrive in time for consultations in Rio Branco and not only here from Epitaciolândia, no. Those who live in nearby municipalities also use this service we provide to patients they need. Now they will have more comfort and safety. Our health teams in the community as well. I am very happy and grateful for this support of our senator,” he explained.
Mayor Sérgio Lopes thanked the senator for the support and listed other achievements made possible for his amendments.
“Alan has already allocated pickups for health and environmental departments, has ensured resources for units reform, construction and now the coverage of the sunset court. Today, with the minibus, we take another important step to improve the services we provide to the population. It is another investment that strengthens our structure and helps us better who needs it,” he said.
