The Minister of Public Health, José Ruales, after a working meeting with the mayor of Jipijapa, Ángela Plúa, announced that this year the integral improvement project of the Basic Hospital of Jipijapa, in the province of Manabí, will be carried out. In addition, he informed that in 2024 the repowering of this hospital is expected.

Between both interventions, more than USD 5.3 million will be invested. In 2023, the maintenance of electrical and sanitary reengineering is expected, as well as the cleaning of cisterns for an amount of USD 330,000. By 2024, the comprehensive intervention in the physical infrastructure is contemplated with the improvement of the hospital spaces and systems, within a period of 18 months. 75 thousand inhabitants will be the beneficiaries of this work.

The Highest Health Authority said that, together with its territory team, the needs to fine-tune this health facility have been identified and underlined the mayor’s commitment to articulate actions. “We have the support of the Municipality to improve the electricity supply, drinking water system and other basic supplies,” she added.

Likewise, Minister Ruales emphasized that it is a priority to work on issues of prevention and health promotion in the canton and the country and that he hopes that this year the Jipijapa Autonomous Decentralized Government (GAD) will join the National Program for Healthy Municipalities and Markets, in order to influence the health status of the population, improving the well-being and quality of life of citizens.

In this context, the mayor thanked the opening of this State portfolio and the cooperation to strengthen the Health System in the city. She maintained that an agreement will be signed between the Ministry of Public Health (MSP and the GAD) to repower basic services and the study on the need for infrastructure.
