The population demands the promise of Prime Minister Ulisses Correia e Silva regarding the construction of the new hospital on Brava island, a promise made two years ago

The island's current hospital infrastructure has been the target of constant criticism due to its lack of capacity, which does not meet the island's demand. The people of Brava placed great hope in the promise of the new hospital as a solution to these persistent problems.

Two years after the initial promise, construction of the new hospital has not yet begun, and the Brava community is increasingly frustrated with the government's delay in action. Many islanders argue that the absence of a modern hospital puts their lives and health at risk, especially in emergency situations and when specialized treatments are needed.

On social media, people are mobilizing and intensifying efforts to pressure the central government to fulfill its promise to build the new hospital. Protests, comments and petitions have become common practice as the population demands immediate action.

The Mayor entered into this debate to state that during the mandate of the current Government, the hospital will be built, refusing to delay the two years promised by the Prime Minister, for the infrastructure to be built. However, the population of Brava is impatient to see concrete results after two years of waiting.

The issue of Brava's new hospital is not only an unfulfilled promise, but also a critical issue of access to public healthcare and the right of the island's inhabitants to adequate medical services. Local community pressure, media attention and political debate in Cape Verde continue to focus on this issue. The people of Brava are determined to ensure that the promise made two years ago is finally realized for the benefit of all its inhabitants.
