Hospital Zonal Esquel undergoes expansion and leadership change

The Hospital Zonal Esquel is undergoing a significant expansion to increase patient capacity and alleviate pressure on its central building. Authorities, including Esquel Mayor Matías Taccetta and Provincial Health Secretary Sergio Wisky, recently inspected the construction site located at the corner of Roca and O’Higgins.

In addition to the infrastructure progress, Dr. Valeria Iriarte has officially assumed her role as the new director of the hospital and the Northwest Zone Decentralized Management Unit. The new leadership aims to strengthen sanitary work and improve continuous care for the community through a model of shared responsibilities in critical areas such as primary care, emergency services, and operating rooms.
