Governor Rogelio Frigerio visited the 107 Health Emergency Directorate of Concordia, where he learned about the service's operation and met with the workers involved in urgent and emergency care.
Accompanied by Mayor Francisco Azcué, the governor highlighted the improvements made to the facilities and the strengthening of operational capacity. "The reconversion of the 107 is proof that it must also be prepared for inclement weather, where they will surely have more work," he stated. In that sense, he valued the transformation of the facilities and remarked that "they showed me the before and after photos and they are truly impressive."
the governor also stressed the importance of bringing the provincial administration closer to institutions and those who perform essential functions in the territory. "When greeting the 107 workers, they told me that it is the first time a governor has come here. We must end the idea that governors govern with their backs to the people, with their backs to important institutions like the 107, with their backs to the countryside, which is the main sector of our province's economy," he affirmed and urged that "this must be forever. We must leave the past behind forever and it does not matter who governs the province from now on. There are things that must never be modified again in Entre Ríos".
The tour was also attended by the provincial Director of Health Emergencies, José Cáceres; the president of the Argentine Delegation to the Joint Technical Commission (CTM) of Salto Grande, Alejandro Daneri; the Minister of Economy and Public Services, Fabián Boleas and the Secretary of Sports, Sebastián Uranga, among others.
The 107 Concordia, which reports to the provincial Ministry of Health, has three operational bases and will soon incorporate a fourth. The staff is made up of more than 90 workers, including operators, nurses, drivers, monitoring and administrative personnel. The service constitutes one of the sub-headquarters of the provincial emergency network and plays a strategic role in healthcare assistance, patient transfers, and event coverage in the region. Regarding available resources, the facility has seven ambulances, units for rescue and medical transfers, recently incorporated rapid response motorcycles, a triage unit for events, and two multifunctional medical tents. In addition, it has a medical truck that is currently undergoing remodeling.
In this context, Mayor Francisco Azcue highlighted the province's contribution to sanitation works in the Manzores stream, in the South Defense, and the donation made by the CTM of Salto Grande for the rental of generator sets, essential equipment that provides greater security in the face of the arrival of the El Niño phenomenon. "Today, having these generator sets, we are calm because, in the event of a possible flood and losing power, we will have these units that will allow the pumping system to continue working," he stated.
For his part, Daneri referred to the technical meteorological reports that monitor the El Niño phenomenon daily from the Hydrology area of Salto Grande and which anticipate that the greatest impact could be recorded starting in September. "What we are doing here is taking preventive actions to cushion what we are expecting starting in September and reduce the effects on the communities," he noted.
DELIVERY
During the day, various deliveries were also made by the Argentine delegation to the CTM of Salto Grande to different organizations aimed at strengthening the response to emergencies. The Municipality of Concordia received the rental of two emergency electric generators for the South Defense pumping station, with the aim of guaranteeing its operation in the event of power outages during the El Niño phenomenon.
For its part, the Ministry of Health of Entre Ríos received two vehicles. A Chevrolet Spin destined for the Villa Paranacito hospital for patient transport and a Chevrolet S10 destined for Civil Defense, which reports to the provincial Ministry of Security, to reinforce the response to potential situations linked to El Niño. It also received an ultrasound scanner for the Santa Rosa hospital in Chajarí and two defibrillators destined for Pueblo Liebig, in addition to medicines for municipal health centers.
Meanwhile, the Secretariat of Sports of Entre Ríos received 140 sports kits: 53 for the initial level, 40 for the primary level, and 47 for comprehensive schools. Finally, the Municipality of La Criolla received an 8 HP rapid attack kit for firefighters, to strengthen their response capacity in emergency situations.
