The Florida Municipal Corporation (Comudef), promoted a new program: “Dentist in your neighborhood”. A free initiative to bring people closer to this specialty. The operations are carried out throughout the entire commune. How can the neighbors schedule the hours? Users can register at the respective neighborhood councils in this area of Santiago.
It is a fact that it is increasingly necessary to offer diversified health care. And above all, timely. Even more so if those specialties are retaken that, as a result of the pandemic, have been put aside by the demand of health facilities for cases of covid-19.
In order to serve them, “people have to register with the respective neighborhood councils of Florida. Then, we summon them and deliver the service at the point that touches us respectively in the commune “, commented the dentist in charge of the program, Jaime Saldivia.
The neighbor, Aurora Barrera, see this show as a “spectacular” instance. In addition, he indicated that “this specialty is expensive, it is difficult to find in clinics because of the number of people there are. It is very good, especially since it is free ”.
A “real” opportunity
At the same time, Olga Espinace, believes that the benefit in itself of this dental program is a good opportunity for the neighbors to be able to attend to each other. “The attention is wonderful. The dentist behaved a seven, he had all the patience in the world to pause the attention. I am very happy, content and satisfied “, the woman pointed out.
