Overview
- Defensa Civil has declared the I-4 facility at risk after repeated infiltrations, flooded services and a lack of potable water compromised patient safety.
- Medical personnel formally demanded the immediate ouster of Micronetwork chief Fredy Collachagua Tupacypanqui and called for a sanitary emergency declaration.
- Workers say a prior roof fix funded with about S/5,000 from the center stalled, leaving pharmacy, obstetrics, oncology and other areas exposed when new rains hit.
- The Red de Salud Valle del Mantaro director, Nancy Baquerizo, counters that a full roof replacement is underway with S/123,000 and denies the project is only half complete.
- Construction of new emergency and TB areas is at risk of stoppage due to unpaid workers, raising concerns about sustaining round-the-clock care.
