- The first of the new hospitals announced by ISSSTE will be built in Guerrero and will have 250 beds.
- The hospital will serve to strengthen the medical care provided to the 626 thousand 395 beneficiaries of the region.
- The goal is not only to serve more people but also to open new sources of work for health professionals.
When it comes to health, resources should never be spared because their benefit translates to an entire community. With this in mind, the Institute of Security and Social Services of State Workers (Issste) announced the construction of seven new hospitals. In this way it will be possible to serve more patients and there will also be new job offers for medical personnel.
Strengthen and increase hospital infrastructure
The information was released by the general director of the institution, Pedro Zenteno Santaella. He assured that all the projects will be incorporated into the investment portfolio of new construction by substitution of 2023.
“We are going to close the second half of the year with good news. We are preparing the incorporation of seven states to the investment portfolio, in which we are considering the construction of hospitals for Campeche, Durango, State of Mexico, Guerrero, San Luis Potosí, Sonora and Tampico, and clinics in Baja California Sur and Chiapas” .
Of these seven entities, Guerrero has already entered the investment portfolio to build a new hospital with 250 beds. It will serve to replace the current Acapulco General Hospitaland it is projected that it will be finished and working in 13 months.
In Acapulco, the land has already been agreed with the state government. The procedures are being carried out so that it becomes part of the ISSSTE heritage. This hospital is going to strengthen the medical care provided to the 626 thousand 395 beneficiaries of the region.
“So that what is established is fulfilled, we will be here attentive, pushing so that things do not remain halfway. That is why we come, to analyze, see and solve without so much bureaucracy”.
After pointing out that he is not a prosecutor, but an ally, he called the central administrative area of the institute to be vigilant, making sure that the great Issste team gives results to the beneficiaries of Guerrero with a new hospital and a CATHEM.
At the Ocotito FMU, the general director instructed to start up the dental unit as soon as possible because it has not been operating for nearly two years and also requested Hire a dentist. He indicated that it is a service that is requiring legal status and asked for practical judgment to be used to solve problems with fewer offices and more solutions.
During the visit by the Tierra Colorada FMU, he confirmed that the expansion of two general medicine offices and one for dentistry will be carried out. It currently has more than 35 years of useful life and serves nearly four thousand beneficiaries, with an average of 40 daily consultations.
The third point of the tour was at the CATHEM in Acapulco, which has been under construction for about a year.
“The white elephant is going very slowly, but now we are going to lift it. I have already instructed the Issste central administration area to come in 15 days and be with the companies to start it up, as it is a necessary and urgent service. If we finish quickly, we will be able to decongest the hospitals in Guerrero and provide good care.”
During the supervision of clinics, Pedro Zenteno asked those in charge of the medical units that, if they do not receive a prompt response to maintenance requests, they let him know personally. He instructed the workers of the Guerrero sub-delegation to leave their desks and go through the units, because it is the only way to find out how to solve problems.
