This week, personnel from the General Services Division of the Health Secretariat carried out painting and building repair tasks at the San Agustín Neighborhood Primary Health Care Center. The actions promoted by the administration of mayor Enrique Cresto are framed within the optimization of the service provided to the community of Concordia.
Zulma, a nurse at the San Agustín Health Center, referred to the interventions carried out, indicating that spaces were painted and repaired. Also in the waiting room, where chairs, benches, doors, and windows were replaced.
“The truth is that it is a change for our Health Center. Different people from the community attend here. Whether from our neighborhood or surrounding areas. So we are happy about this change. “We invite the population to attend this place where different professionals of different specialties attend, and also a fundamental aspect, vaccination; that mothers bring their children to be vaccinated, because we have all the vaccines on the calendar and we do it from 7 a.m. to 6 p.m.”
For their part, Damian Ríos and Rodrigo Rivero, from the General Services Division, explained that painting and repair work is being carried out in the health centers. “This is the eighth center we are working on. We have already been in Benito Legerén, San Miguel, Camba Paso, Barrio Los Pájaros, Leoncio de Luque, Barrio Norte, Jesús Nazareno. We are 15 guys who carry out painting, grass cutting, and general maintenance work in the health centers, so that the people who attend can make use of the facilities as they should”
“In the administration of mayor Enrique Cresto there was, from the beginning, a vision, a long-term projected planning that has to do with the strengthening of the Emergency system and Primary Health Care. That is why a great effort is being made to continue equipping and improving the facilities of the health centers in the different neighborhoods of Concordia”, pointed out Mauro García, Secretary of Health.

In this axis, the Health Secretariat of the Municipality of Concordia carried out works in the CAPS and is carrying out remodeling in different offices where residents are attended to on a daily basis. “Likewise, through the SUMAR PLAN, the equipment of all Health Centers has been achieved, and with the realization of comprehensive approaches in different neighborhoods and the implementation of the Extramural Program, joint actions of different medical specialties were developed free of charge. The activities include talks, training, nutritional, dental, pediatric, obstetric, and clinical check-ups. Also checks on compliance with the vaccination calendar,” indicated the official.
