The official’s words are related to the new emergency unit that the municipality of Rionegroin eastern Antioquia, is about to open.
It seeks to increase the attention of users.

In effect, the new room will double its attention span. That is, from 5 patients to 50 at the same time, approximately.

We highlight the new intensive care beds that have been acquired throughout the pandemic

This work will directly benefit 23 municipalities that make up eastern Antioquia, but it is noteworthy that given the circumstances they will also receive patients from other departments or from the Aburrá Valley.

The work has a value of more than 10,000 million pesoshas co-financing from the National Government, the Government of Antioquia and the municipality of Rionegro.

For the local president, this investment was essential for the consolidation of the Rionegro Hospital.

“I think that the greatest impact that we can have with this large emergency room is that we are going to intensify the number of attention, which allows us to reduce waiting times when it comes to being attended, because there were times when users they came to exceed six hours without receiving attention”, he says.

overcoming the deficit

The Rionegro hospital network has services of the maximum specialization that can exist in medical care.

However, for more than 10 years there has been a lack of public and private emergency care.

According to the Municipal Administration, past mayors had been very indolent with investment in health and there was no political will and it was only until the last Administration that the resources for this new emergency room were obtained.

Similarly, assures the president, that at the subregional level there has been a problem of hospital beds.

“The work arrives at the right time, now we are also addressing the issue of mental health, which will be a fundamental part of the new emergency health service where we include an adequate physical space to attend to all these mental pathologies,” says Secretary Rivas Urrea.

It is estimated that, by the end of March, the work can be delivered which is 93 percent complete, since all the infrastructure and equipment work is close to being completed in accordance with the provisions of the Ministry of Health.

We are transforming Rionegro with facts!

Only the provision of the emergency room had a value close to 1,000 million pesos.

“Despite being a priority infrastructure work, the issue of supplies, technological equipment, imports, medical gases, air conditioners and costs greatly affected the development of the project; but we knew how to cope with it and here we are on the verge of fulfilling a dream”, says Rivas.

Pandemic and post-pandemic, a challenge

For the mayor of Rionegro, the pandemic was one of the greatest challenges he had to experience: “these were moments when we decided whether to tighten the economy or preserve life, the principle of saving life was always above”.

On the issue of Intensive Care Units (ICU), in 2020 the Mayor’s Office of Rionegro made an investment close to 1,800 million pesos for six intensive care beds plus other hospitalization.

The emergency room will make it possible to attend to all post-pandemic difficulties, because according to Dr. Rivas, there has been to a certain extent a neglect of chronic diseases in the last two years that are now demanding emergency services that could not be attended due to congestion in the services. as a result of covid-19, which includes surgeries and other types of diseases and pathologies that require emergency services.

They were moments in which we decided whether to tighten the economy or preserve life

However, they claim that the human resource in health with the pandemic has become insufficient to deal with an emergency of this magnitude, so they want to have health teams that are highly empowered in terms of quality, comprehensiveness, and continuity in patient care.

The municipality currently maintains an agreement to care for the uninsured poor population that allows for emergency services, outpatient consultation and chronic diseases.

Hernández assures that they have the resources to continue with the attention, by specialists, that the most humble people of Rionegro require and thus they do not have to travel to Medellín and can receive high-quality attention in the municipality.

Cúcuta: dining room unites Colombians and Venezuelans - Other Cities - Colombia

The sun is inclement, it stings and not even the trees move. It is 12 noon and a line forms in front of a humble home in the eighth district of Cúcuta. Ahiezer Neftalí and Juan Pablo are there. The first has not been born and the second is 22 months old. They are not brothers or cousins. Their mothers come from different cultures and every day they exchange glances without knowing that they have experienced similar dramas.faced with strength.

Ahiezer, a biblical name that means brotherhood, was chosen by Idelmis Nazareth Pérez, 22, to name her son. He, who will be born in less than two months, is imagined as white and with green eyes like his father, although he can turn out ‘dark’, like his mother. She arrived in Cúcuta on December 2. He is from Barcelona, ​​Anzoátegui state (Venezuela) and, despite having a passport, he crossed the border by trail because that day there was no electricity and the systems did not work.

(Enter the special: United Colombia, where differences can live)

“The road was eternal, I had anxiety and I remembered my childhood playing bichas (metras) with my brother, riding a bicycle and laughing at every mischief. My father and brother stayed there, my mother died two years ago and the dream was to be in Colombia with my older sister, Idania, who is pregnant and has five children,” says the woman.

The humble house where the community dining room operates was leased by the Missionaries of New Life.

Idelmis’s mission was to take care of her sister during the diet, but fate had other plans for her: to take care of her own son. Upon her arrival, she realized that she was delayed and after having a test done at a Red Cross brigade, she found out that she was also pregnant. “I wanted to die, I felt that the world was wrinkling and I didn’t know what to do. The baby’s father left me when I told him, love is ephemeral, the real one grows inside me.

Idelmis’s drama was also experienced a few months ago by Liliana Añez, a 45-year-old from Cucuta who gave birth to Juan Pablo 22 months ago, whom she raises alone, because his father abandoned him when he found out he was on his way. The boy, dark-haired like her mother, inherited his large, bulging eyes from her. She was born with an abdominal disease and the support of Añez’s family has been essential in her recovery.

“When he grows up I want him to be a professional, to be happy and study what he likes; well, and that it be a career that gives him a living. I studied systems engineering at the National University, but I have never practiced”. Liliana, born in Cúcuta, lived a large part of her life in Bogotá and 10 years ago she returned to the border city. She lives in the human settlement El Talento and there she teaches her little one to be disciplined, because “it is the only way to face the challenges of life.”

To protect themselves from the sun, the one that clouds the view on the streets, both wear black caps. Juan Pablo goes by car and his mother, with arms of steel, takes him every day from El Talento to La Fortaleza, both settlements in the eighth district of Cúcuta. In La Fortaleza, the lives of these little ones come together: Ahiezer, who has not come out of the womb, and Juan Pablo, who with a shy look clings to his mother’s arms. Both share the same lunch, at different tables, while their mothers tell stories and lived dramas.

The leaders of the social work are Martha Isabel and Gloria Patricia Celis Villamarín, blood sisters and companions of the congregation.

They, without knowing each other and with similar experiences, remain united by the New Life Missionary Center, where they receive a daily lunch. While they talk, laugh and bring back memories to their minds, they taste an appetizing dish with barley soup, rice with carve, ground beef and beans, as popular in Venezuela as in Colombia.

The mothers overflow in prose when they talk about the dining room set up in the human settlement, where citizens of both countries have learned to live together, giving an example of camaraderie and demonstrating that Colombians and Venezuelans are not as different as culturally it has been made out to be.

The humble house where the community dining room operates was leased by the Missionaries of New Life. A month, they pay $200,000. The leaders of the social work are Martha Isabel and Gloria Patricia Celis Villamarín, blood sisters and companions of the congregation. “The headquarters of the community is in La Libertad and with my sister we live in La Fortaleza. The dining room started with grandparents and in June of last year we began serving children and adults from both countries,” said Sister Martha.

There are 340 people who receive lunch daily in this dining room.

The charisma of the women, with impeccable dress, is recognized by the 340 people who receive lunch daily. They, smiling, share with children, women, men and the elderly, whom they see as a great binational family. The maintenance of the community dining room is given thanks to several sources of financing. On one hand they receive contributions from the World Food Plan and on the other, aid from organizations such as Rotary and the Diocese of Cúcuta.

The sisters, who move like ants, get up early every Tuesday at 3 in the morning and after offering their prayers, they go out to Cenabastos where, sack in hand, they receive fruits and vegetables donated by merchants. “Here we live the multiplication of loaves and fishes, we have space for 250 people, but there are days when up to 100 more arrive and no one is left without food.”

The most gratifying thing for the sisters is to see the joy of the community. Both do not hesitate to affirm that teamwork creates bonds of friendship and breaks down barriers. The beneficiaries, like the warrior mothers of Ahiezer and Juan Pablo, take turns helping to prepare the food, because for them and the community neither race nor nationality matters, much less skin color. What is valuable is loving each other as brothers and doing good.
