He announced that the goal is for more CAPS to be open 24 hours a day by the end of the year. “We will continue to invest in health because it is an essential service that we must provide,” remarked the mayor of Concordia. In the first month, 340 patients were treated, of whom only 11 had to be referred.
In the first days of October, Mayor Francisco Azcué, through the Secretariat of Health, arranged for nighttime care at the Nebel neighborhood Health Center, as part of the program to extend the hours of all Health Centers that depend on the Municipality.
During Thursday night, the Mayor and the Secretary of Health, Dr. Diego Sauré, were at the aforementioned center, where building renovations were also carried out and a dental chair donated by a professional from our city was incorporated.
Throughout the past month, 340 patients were treated, of which only 11 were referred to the hospital, which allows for decongesting care at the hospitals in Concordia and transforming the Health Center into a reference point for residents.
PRESENT STATE
“We are clear that we must be a present State and primary health care is an essential service that we must provide,” affirmed Azcué, announcing that the goal is to reach the end of the year with 24-hour care at the Health Centers in Villa Adela, Los Pájaros, and Osvaldo Magnasco.
In addition to the care itself, there is an ambulance available so that in the event that a patient needs to be transferred to one of the hospitals, it can be done without major delays. “There is no schedule for getting sick, which is why residents should know that this center, and the next ones we will announce, is available 24 hours a day, and the statistics show that many people came to be treated.”
Finally, Azcué stressed that if efficient primary care is achieved, it helps to relieve the demand on the hospitals in Concordia, which is why “we are going to continue investing in health, improving infrastructure, and adding new ambulances, as will happen in a short time through a tender process we are carrying out. This is part of the public policies that we are working on jointly with the Provincial Government.”
POSITIVE BALANCE
For his part, Sauré stated that the balance for these first 30 days of nighttime care “is more than positive. We went from providing care until 7:00 PM to doing so 24 hours a day. We have nursing services and an ambulance for cases where it is necessary.”
Regarding statistics, the Secretary of Health indicated that since this modality began, “we have had around 340 patients treated, of which only 11 were referred to the hospital due to the complexity they presented; the rest were resolved here, at the Health Center.”
“Now the goal is to be open all day in the Los Pájaros neighborhood, where there will be a 107 ambulance, and then we will do the same in Villa Adela and Magnasco. This was a decision and promise of Mayor Azcué, and we are working as appropriate to fulfill it.”
