In the last 24 hours, almost a thousand patients were treated in the new reception tents for patients with dengue symptoms. This Tuesday’s numbers (23) add to the more than 6.5 thousand services already recorded since the inauguration of the new service units on the 11th. This Wednesday (24), the Vicente Pires tent will be inaugurated.

Recently opened, the Taguatinga tent, located in the parking lot of the Taguatinga Regional Hospital (HRT) outpatient clinic, recorded the lowest number of visits (134). The tent with the highest number of assists was Planaltina (251), followed by Guará (167), Gama (155), Ceilândia (145) and Paranoá (143). Of the people who received care, 340 were children who received pediatric care.
Of the tents already delivered, three of them, located in Guará, Gama and Paranoá, are open 24 hours a day. Those in Ceilândia, Planaltina and Taguatinga operate from 7am to 7pm. In addition to the units already delivered, six more spaces are in the installation phase, in Plano Piloto, Águas Claras, Samambaia and Varjão. The purpose of the spaces is to ensure faster care for patients symptomatic of the disease, reducing pressure on the Unified Health System (SUS).
