Until now, workers at the ISSSTE General Hospital, located in front of Alameda Zaragoza, point out that there is uncertainty, since neither local nor union authorities have explained to them what the future of the second-level clinic will be.

First, they had said that it would continue operating but now, they mention that they have been told that the hospital will close and that everyone will go to work in the new specialty unit.

“And then they tell us that we are going to go to the Specialty Hospital but that first it will function as a General Hospital, that cannot be if they have already been building a High Specialty Hospital for some time. We are waiting for an assembly so that the Union can inform us how It will be the change to the new hospital,” they said.

At the “Dr. Francisco Galindo Chávez” Hospital, it is estimated that there is a staff of more than 600 workers, while for the ISSSTE High Specialty Regional Hospital, around 1,926 positions of different categories are required.

JUSTIFY DELAY

Originally, the federal government had assured that the HRAE would be delivered on March 31, 2024, with everything and equipment, since it was a turnkey project.

In addition, the investment amount was updated, going from three thousand 028 million pesos to three thousand 565 million 797 thousand 844 pesos.
