University Hospital begins work on the expansion of the Shock Trauma building
Due to the demand for more space in the emergency area, an expansion project was started
Currently, the University Hospital receives 60,000 patients in the emergency department per year, this saturates the unit with insufficient infrastructure for patient care
That is why, the expansion of the Shock Trauma area has begun with a three-story building, with foundations to grow up to seven more. In which a floor dedicated exclusively to a more comfortable and spacious waiting room for family members of emergency patients is thought.
This work is expected to be completed within approximately 10 months, and in a next stage two underground tunnels will be incorporated to connect with other areas of the hospital.
During this event there was the presence of:
- Rogelio Guillermo Garza Rivera, MSc; Rector of the Universidad Autónoma de Nuevo León
- Santos Guzmán López, DM; Academic Secretary of the Universidad Autónoma de Nuevo León
- Edelmiro Pérez Rodríguez, DM; Principal of the School of Medicine and University Hospital "Dr. José Eleuterio González"
