Remember the case
The failures in the 152 breaths were confirmed by the government of Pará last Friday (8), through an official note. The devices arrived in Belém on Monday (4) and could not be used until now due to defects.
This, according to the Pará government, is the first shipment of a total of 400 respirators purchased with resources from the state government, an investment of more than R $ 50 million, approximately two months ago.
“Immediately, when these products arrived, we asked the technicians of the Ministry of Health, together with physiotherapists and doctors, to install and verify each equipment and it was investigated that they would not provide fundamental services to save lives,” Barbalho reported on the networks. social.
I would like to convey my outrage to the entire population of Pará, adding to him, in connection with this episode of respirators purchased in China by the State Government. pic.twitter.com/NiIz4rN4MQ
