The institution said it will invest a total of $270 million during 2012, mainly in the construction of a Trauma Hospital and IT modernization.

Those who hold some form of insurance policy will be able to access the specialized offices offering consumer rights through their current insurance companies, which will begin to implement this measure soon.
