The Chubut provincial government is implementing several initiatives to strengthen the public health system and medical infrastructure.

Initially, the Secretariat of Health announced the hiring of 10 nurses for the Lago Puelo Rural Hospital following a public recruitment process. This staffing increase is intended to support the upcoming inauguration of a new hospital building in Lago Puelo, funded by provincial resources.

Following this, the province expanded its recruitment efforts to include general practitioners for rural hospitals in Corcovado, Gobernador Costa, and Telsen, aiming to improve healthcare access in non-urban areas. Additionally, officials conducted inspections at the Eva Perón Hospital to optimize services, with a specific focus on expanding mental health consultation rooms and improving adult and pediatric emergency departments.
