Luanda – The President of the Republic, João Lourenço, praised today the work of health professionals, especially cardiologists, who “have performed real miracles”.
As an example, the Angolan statesman cited the surgeons at Josina Machel Hospital and Dom Alexandre do Nascimento Hospital Complex, who, with very young and competent teams, are performing major surgeries.
According to João Lourenço, who was speaking to the press after inaugurating the Maternity and Infant Hospital “Dr. Manuel Pedro Azancot de Menezes”, the Angolan government will continue to invest in the health sector, and proof of this are the recent inaugurations of several hospital units across the country.
Likewise, he praised the total and unconditional delivery of these professionals during the critical phase of the Covid-19 pandemic.
For this reason, he thanked the health professionals, while drawing attention to the importance of humanisation in the care of the population.
He stressed that the trend is to put an end to bad practices and follow good examples, which are those of the majority.
The President said that attributing the name of Professor Dr. Azancot de Menezes to the institution is a great tribute to a doctor who dedicated his life to maternal and child health in Angola and other countries.
