Durango’s health network is expanding its infrastructure and equipment with the construction of the new Santiago Papasquiaro Regional Hospital, a project representing an investment of 400 million pesos that will provide specialized care to residents of eight municipalities.
The project is part of the actions that the state government reports implementing to improve medical services during the administration of Governor Esteban Villegas Villarreal.
The new hospital will have areas for gynecology, obstetrics, pediatrics, surgery, orthopedics, internal medicine, emergency care, nutrition, and mental health, with the goal of bringing specialized services closer to families in the region.
What Will the New Santiago Papasquiaro Hospital Include?
According to information provided by the Durango government, the hospital will benefit more than 24,000 people.
- 400 million pesos: planned investment for the new hospital.
- 8 municipalities: population in the region that will have access to the facility.
- More than 24,000: people identified as beneficiaries.
- 9 services: including surgery, pediatrics, emergency care, and mental health.
- Santiago Papasquiaro: location of the new Regional Hospital.
How Many Medications and Medical Supplies Have Arrived in Durango?
The state government also reported progress in medical supply availability. More than 12.1 million pieces and medical supplies have been distributed among 315 hospitals, clinics, and health centers throughout Durango.
The materials include medications, medical supplies, and tools that healthcare personnel can use to treat patients.
This effort is complemented by the renovation and equipping of General Hospital 450, where work was carried out to improve facilities and provide new equipment to different areas of care.
The statement also highlights medical services intended for remote communities and areas that are difficult to access, with the aim of bringing healthcare closer to populations that face greater difficulties traveling to hospital centers.
According to the information provided, the state strategy combines three fronts: new infrastructure, greater availability of medical supplies, and modernization of existing hospitals.
The new Santiago Papasquiaro Regional Hospital represents the largest investment mentioned in the project, while the supply of more than 12.1 million pieces seeks to address the everyday needs of a network that reaches hundreds of medical facilities throughout the state.
Through these actions, Esteban Villegas’ administration seeks to strengthen healthcare capacity in Durango, both through new hospital facilities and through medications, equipment, and services for remote communities.
