The Dr. David Capistrano Filho Hospital Complex, located in the Northwest Zone of Santos in São Paulo, will undergo temporary closure from February 23 to March 8 for the installation of a new primary electrical power unit. The reopening is planned for March 9, following the completion of the renovations. This upgrade is part of efforts to enhance the hospital's safety, facilitate complete climate control throughout the building, and accommodate new sterilization equipment which includes two large autoclaves designed for effective material sterilization.

In addition to the electrical updates, the temporary closure will also allow for extensive maintenance throughout various areas of the hospital, including administrative offices, reception areas, staircases, the surgical center, psychiatry, the roof, hearing test rooms, panoramic X-ray facilities, the lactation room, vaccination areas, and the back facade of the building. Such comprehensive improvements aim to create a more efficient and comfortable environment for both staff and patients, ensuring modern healthcare services.

This renovation is a significant step towards modernizing healthcare facilities in the region, reflecting the city's commitment to improving public health infrastructure. As the hospital prepares for these upgrades, the Health Department is likely to reassure the community about continuity of services and address any concerns regarding temporary closures of healthcare access during this period. Overall, this initiative marks an important investment in the healthcare system of Santos and contributes to the betterment of health services in the state.
