From the death of a 6-year-old girl due to a serious respiratory condition and the increase in cases, especially in boys and girls, the Zatti de Viedma hospital opened a pediatric office today to meet this demand.
These pathologies began to have a considerable growth on that sector of the child population and before the fatal event set off the alarms for the outbreak of respiratory diseases.
In this sense, given the saturation of the public and private health system due to the number of cases and the lack of personnel to attend to the large number of cases, the local hospital initiated the opening of this pediatric office.
The attention will be in the sector of hospital offices without previous shifts, Monday to Friday from 8 a.m. to 8 p.m., that is, on demand.
Another of the actions taken in the health centers of the Viedma Program Areais that the priority attention will also be to pediatric demands for respiratory pathologies.
In this way, care in “healthy child” and “school health” clinics is suspended, in order to solve this saturation. It was clarified that the rest of the scheduled activities continue to be provided normally.
The situation occurs after the death of a 6-year-old girl in the last hours who would have been admitted with a picture of bilateral pneumonia, and A child is also hospitalized at the Viedma Clinic for respiratory pathologies.
