“The University Hospital, historically, has been a fundamental pillar in the State. They have worked in different axes, the academy is one of them, where they have trained great health professionals [...] They have also made an effort to grow research and the generation of new knowledge that makes us different because we can identify the characteristics of our citizens and the most effective interventions”, mentioned Alma Rosa Marroquín Escamilla, DM.

Mentioning feeling honored to be among the guests at the opening event, Santos Guzmán López, DM; affirmed: “Today we have the opportunity to launch these three areas that prove that the University Hospital is modernizing and expanding to serve the entire society. Together, the new spaces add up to more than 11,700mts², which will be available to the entire society that requires medical care in a timely manner and that responds with quality and respect to the needs of the patient”

For his part, Samuel Alejandro García Sepúlveda, PhD; commented that he was happy to accompany Dr. Santos and Dr. Edelmiro to inaugurate these three important areas of the University Hospital because for him, this is a reflection of the message that it wants to give Nuevo León in the matter of health safety.

It is important to note that within these new areas there are waiting rooms, consulting rooms, internment cubicles, areas of diagnostic, observation, exploration, recovery, intensive and palliative care, nursing stations, laboratories and operating rooms with top-level technology equipment that stands out not only in the region otherwise at the national level.
