It is worth remembering that the measure has been in effect since last October by decision of the current administration, through the Health Secretariat. Last week, the same service modality began in the Los Pájaros neighborhood, and by the end of the year, the CAPS in Villa Adela and Osvaldo Magnasco will be added.
In the first days of October, the Health Center in the Nebel neighborhood began the night service duly announced by the mayor Francisco Azcué and the Secretary of Health, Diego Sauré, as part of an extended hours program for all municipal Health Centers.
More than a month after the start of the new modality in the Nebel neighborhood, testimonies from residents and workers in the area are being added regarding the positive impact the measure has had on the community.
Nurse Jonathan Tugnarelli explained that referrals are made “depending on the patient's complication” and detailed that, among the most requested practices are “wound care and blood pressure monitoring,” and even mentioned that residents from other neighborhoods such as San Agustín, the Center, or the Costanera come “because it is easier for them to get here,” adding that “many people with treatments, which include injections, come, for example, on Sundays.”
Marina Valdés, an administrative employee at the Health Center since 2016, pointed out that it is the first time the facility has been open 24 hours a day and it is very positive for being able to “reduce the burden on hospitals and provide good care to residents.”
Vanesa Rodríguez, a resident and worker at the Health Center, mentioned that “for the neighborhood it is very good and people have taken it very well.” Indeed, she argued that the proximity to highly populated areas such as the Costanera is another of the strong points of the 24-hour service.
Fermina, a resident and grandmother, commented that “now I am doing kinesiology, all the girls are very good and it is very comfortable.”
For his part, Pedro, another resident, said that the measure is very “positive because in case you have to get an injection at midnight, now we have a place to go without queuing or crowding at the hospital.”
The testimonies also highlighted the fact that a dental chair has been added and the Pediatric Service has been optimized. “If we have a child with a fever, it is easier to come here,” they pointed out.
Since last week, the same service modality began at the Health Center in the Los Pájaros neighborhood, which also has an ambulance service through joint work between the Health Secretariat and the Provincial 107 System.
The goal is for the Health Centers of Villa Adela and Osvaldo Magnasco to be added before the end of 2024.
