In reality, as this media learned during the tour, it is this month’s payments that will be resolved, and therefore, like other lenders and health care providers, these delays will be implemented in the coming months.
Social Work’s online website lists the 15-day sanatorium in the Liniere district, a few meters from Juan B. Justo Avenue, as a center, but the site has stopped treating patients since flooding from a strong storm 12 years ago. “It will be used for administrative purposes,” the security guard kindly replied.
