General Zone Hospital construction approved in Guanajuato
The General Zone Hospital (HGZ) with 72 beds will be constructed in Guanajuato to replace the Hospital Sub-Zone General Hospital (HGSZ) No. 10. The Mexican Institute of Social Security (IMSS) also approved the executive project for the 260-bed Regional General Hospital (HGR) in Santa Catarina, Nuevo Leon, through its Technical Council.
Additionally, the councillors approved the donation of the rustic Penjamo property to the Municipal Council of Acala, Chiapas, during the ordinary session. The 3000 square meter property will be used to build a Family Medicine Unit (FMU). It will also have two medical offices, a family medicine specialist, and a nurse.
The IMSS preventive framework is being implemented simultaneously with the growth of the institute’s medical infrastructure. This was emphasized by Zoe Robledo, general director of IMSS. Additionally, efforts are being made to improve the efficiency of spaces and medical facilities. This aims to allow more offices to be open on weekends and operating rooms to be utilized sooner.
Medical Infrastructure Development Across Mexico
According to him, the institute is currently working on 11 concurrent hospital projects across the country. Some of these projects aim to restore losses from the 2017 earthquake. Examples of these projects include the HGZ infrastructure and hospitals in San Alejandro, Puebla, and also in Zaragoza, Mexico City. In 2021, the Tula River overflow had an impact on less than five Tula hospitals.
In addition to the hospital in Cardenas, that is handled by the state government, and in Uruapan, Michoacan, there are more IMSS projects in Ticul, Yucatan, City Juarez, Chihuahua, Baja California, Ensenada, Navojoa, Tuxtla Gutierrez, Sonora, Chiapas, and Tlahuac, Mexico City. |
