Tierra del Fuego emergency and health service updates

Overview

The provincial government of Tierra del Fuego has implemented a reorganization of emergency response channels to increase efficiency. Under this system, the 107 line is dedicated exclusively to health emergencies and medical assistance, managed by the General Directorate of Emergency Care, while the 911 line remains the primary channel for general security and non-medical emergencies.

In conjunction with these administrative changes, health centers across Ushuaia, Río Grande, and Tolhuin have released regular updates to service schedules for various days, including weekends and holidays. These updates detail the availability of Primary Health Care Centers (CAPS) and regional hospitals, covering services such as general medicine, dentistry, nursing, obstetrics, vaccinations, and sexual health counseling.

Specific operational details have been provided for various dates. For example, during the October 12 holiday, Ushuaia's CAPS 4, 5, and 9 operated with specific focuses such as pediatric dentistry or influenza vaccines, while the Tolhuin Modular Hospital maintained 24-hour operations. In Río Grande, services for the same holiday included medical attention for scheduled controls, mandatory vaccinations for all ages, and sexual health counseling, with the Río Grande Regional Hospital providing dental emergency services from 8:00 to 20:00. For Saturday, October 24, Ushuaia's CAPS 4, 6, 7, 8, and 9 provided a range of services including nutrition, adult medicine, and dental emergencies, while Río Grande's CAPS No. 3 offered medical attention and mandatory vaccinations from 12:00 to 18:00.
