In the midst of the complex epidemiological situation in the province of Holguin caused by the outbreak of COVID-19, the Holguín Mechanical Company Héroes del 26 de Julio (HOLMECA), has increased its productions in support to public health, for example, by manufacturing parts to facilitate the supply of oxygen to Sars-cov2 positive patients.
Dairelis Carrasco, a specialist of that entity, - a reference within the iron and steel industry in Cuba-, said that the bronze components they are producing are are used to install local oxygen systems in different wards of the Lucía Iñiguez Landín clinical-surgical hospital in Holguín, according to journalist Eileen Esther Molina Fernández of the Cuban News Agency.
Carrasco stressed that the pieces are in great demand at that health care center, with a high number of patients in need of treatment with this medicinal product, due to the clinical manifestations of the highly transmissible SarsCov-2 virus.
She said that the company also maintains its main production lines to guarantee parts and pieces of agricultural implements and towards the development of projects and prototypes aimed at the substitution of imports and technological sovereignty in the Caribbean nation, among which are grain harvesters.
She also stated that within the framework of COVID-19, the entity is involved in the recovery of hospital beds and the manufacture of clinical furnishings, for use by hospital guards, which have a great impact on improving the quality of patient care.
In addition to these contributions, there is also the perimeter fencing of polyclinics, isolation centers and medical institutions, which is part of the public health maintenance programs, added Carrasco.
HOLMECA also has among its priorities the promotion of electronic commerce, renewable energy sources, food sovereignty, implementation of science, included in the priorities of Cuban economic and social development.
This mechanical plant in Holguin was inaugurated on July 27, 1981 by the historic leader of the Cuban Revolution, Fidel Castro Ruz, which focuses its work on the production of castings, forgings, machined parts and services of cutting, forming, welding, heat treatment or surface finishing of metal components for priority sectors of the economy and also to support other branches of society.
