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 />
