“We promised that this hospital would be built and it was decided that it be on this land. It is going to be a much larger hospital,” explained the president, who was accompanied by Governor Omar Fayad and the heads of IMSS, Zoé Robledo, and Pemex, Octavio Romero.
He foresaw that, before the end of his government, a call would be issued for an industrial park to be installed on the rest of the land, as well as a coking plant, given its proximity to the Tula refinery.
The federal Executive stressed that the work will cost 1,800 million pesos that will be paid by Pemex, which will take care of the debt that, in principle, the local government acquired, “but later, that debt passes to Pemex, in the end of accounts is public debt, it belongs to all Mexicans”.
The new hospital
Regarding the specifications that the hospital will have, the head of the IMSS, Zoé Robledo, indicated that it will have 144 beds, in relation to the 39 that were in the hospital that was flooded.
It will have a total investment of 2,053 million pesos, of which 1,440 million will go to the work and 613 million will be for equipment.
It is planned to build a family medicine unit, which should be finished in September of this year.
