VI. ESTIMATE OF RECOVERY AND RECONSTRUCTION NEEDS | 145<br />

e) Social Services. Health<br />

The field of health was one of those for which there was the most demand during the emergency that<br />

was caused by the path of Hurricane Ida. From the first moment, health services were activated and<br />

addressed the emergency, with the constant monitoring of patients and conditions in National Health<br />

System facilities.<br />

To assist the population and prevent an increase in cases of respiratory infections in shelters, the Ministry<br />

of Health mobilized a total of 1,359 health professionals, including doctors, nurses, health promoters,<br />

educators and environmental inspectors. The principal illnesses treated among those affected were<br />

respiratory illnesses, dermatitis, conjunctivitis, trauma, and panic attacks.<br />

It is necessary to launch health services that are adjusted to the prevailing disease conditions among<br />

those affected. Emphasis should be placed on expectant and nursing women.<br />
