Calderón Guardia In State Of
Emergency
The state hospital, the Calderón Guardia,
has had to turn away surgeries and interning
patients since Monday due to problems in its
Emergency services unit, that has been
oversaturated with more than double the
number of patients as usual.
On Monday the emergency room at the hospital
was flooded with at least 150 people, a unit
with a capacity of only 70, according to
Luis Paulino Hernández, director of the
hospital.
The director explained that surgeries for
hernias, tonsils and other similar surgeries
had to be suspended, though cancer and
emergency surgeries took place.
Hernández added that at least 20 people with
emergencies had to be sent to the Hospital
México
The director assured that the situation at
the hospital should be back to normal by
today. |
