[Tagging] Adding values healthcare=dispensary and healthcare=community_care?

[Claire Halleux]

Hi Mario,

the three low-range facilities are called: "Puesto de Salud", "Subcentro
> de Salud", and "Centro de Promoción de Salud".  I've never seen one of

Are these like NGOs doing health promotion or a service organized by health
authorities?
If it's the latter, are they constituted by volunteers from the
village/community? Could these be considered as "community health workers"?

summarizing, to represent the lower end of the Panamanian healthcare

Regarding the periodicity of the extra presence, is this information
official or do you think it varies for each facility and should be
collected separately for each? How likely could this be?

Thank you,
Claire
