This Friday, August 12, the public tender act began to resume the construction work of the Manuel de Jesús Rojas polyclinic in Aguadulce.
During the bidding ceremony, which was attended by several bidding companies, patient representatives and authorities of the Social Security Fund (CSS), among them the director of the entity, Enrique Lau Cortés, called on the medical and administrative staff to make it more empathetic with the insured population and said that patients should be treated as “we would treat our mothers, our children… Let’s not do to patients what we would not like them to do to our relatives,” he said.
By assuring that there should be a new concept in this polyclinic, they should make an effort so that the population stays healthy, make an effort so that people have their medicines.
Meanwhile, Telva Córdoba, president of the Aguadulce retirees association, stated that for more than 21 years they have been fighting for this polyclinic to be built and they hope that this time it will happen, since on two occasions it has been said that they will continue the work but it has not been completed.
The institutional medical director of the CSS in Coclé, Gretna Martínez, added that this tender brings hopeful news for the patients of this province, since two works that were paralyzed for more than 10 years, “are being resumed today.”
