The incorporation of health planning to everyday services practice is mirrored in the Health Plan as an expression of health policy to be developed by the government of our region, and this will mean, certainly the possibility of achieving higher levels of health for the citizens of our region.
From the organizational point of view, the Health Administration is divided into areas and basic health zones.
