The hospital's new system allows it to generate all the energy it needs, according toEl Nuevo Dia. The facility has 35permanentresidents withchronicconditions; it also offers services to some 3,000 young patients, the newspaper says. As for who is paying for the power system, the head of the hospital tellsNuevo Diathat for now, it's a donation — and that after the energy crisis is over, a deal could make it permanent.
