Saquarema – Given the significant increase in demand from patients suspected of dehydration and cases related to dengue, the Porphirio Nunes de Azeredo Municipal Hospital (HMPNA), in Saquarema, installed a hydration tent at the unit’s door, to better serve the population of the city ​​and neighboring municipalities, with nurses and nursing technicians available 24 hours a day, seven days a week.
