  "...According to projections for the period 2017-2021, there will be a significant strengthening of the first level of health care, composed of EBAIS and Health Areas. During this period, more than ($1,465,000) ¢788,000 million will be allocated, of which 47% will focus on improving EBAIS infrastructure and equipment."
