The Ministry of Health and Families of the Board continues its support for the opening of the Sierra de Cazorla High Resolution Hospital Chare this August. This is after the First Occupation License was granted by the Municipality Council last 1st of Juli. It is anticipated that the electricity supply to the center will be realized in the next few days. At this time, the Ministry will start working on processes such the commissioning and installation of medical equipment.
These tasks will be performed in tandem with other works and improvements to facilities that the Ministry has requested the construction company to complete. It is important to fix the defects found in the work so that patients and professionals are safe and the correct quality of care can begin from the day it opens. The work was received by the previous Government in October 2018. None of these issues were solved at that time.
Andalusian health service technicians were able verify that the General Low Voltage Panel was installed in accordance with regulations. They also failed to consider the potential for accidents and the prevention of them. . According to SAS, this problem affects multiple parts of the installation and requires 18 modifications.
The Sanitary Hot water Production System is another improvement. It does not exceed 50 degrees. If precautions were not taken prior to the opening of the center there could be a risk that Legionella bacteria would proliferate. In the event of an outbreak, the protocol which requires temperatures of 70 degrees for 4 hours could not be followed.
It is also necessary to address the issues found in the generator set, as well as the deficiencies in air conditioning and lighting systems of operating theatres and recovery rooms.
According to Trinidad Rus, the territorial delegate, many processes have been promoted by the Ministry and Jaen’s delegation since the new Government assumed office.
This has allowed for personnel selection and the awarding basic contracts like cleaning service, security, installation maintenance or switchboard maintenance. The agreement with SAS’s provincial logistics platform for equipment provision for clinical labs has also been concluded.
