Our local clinic does not have a doctor and will be closing down. Medical services for the area will be provided by a new clinic in Agua Caliente, whose inauguration will be on the 20th of this month.
Services there will be more comprehensive to include:
24/7 Physician coverage, free
24/7 ambulance service, free and connected to 911
Lab and pharmacy (I don't know the cost if any)
Xrays (I don't know the cost if any)
Some medical specialty coverage
We have never had this type of free medical service in La Manzanilla. The 9 - 3 clinic schedule here had inconsistent coverage/service and few medications for the indigent. The best was to receive basic primary care from a new physician, completing service hours.
On the surface, the new clinic services appear to be a godsend. However, a big drawback is for the indigent who don't have transportation.
Because this clinic will service many area towns, accessibility and wait times may be an issue, along with other issues we don't know or expect. And, of course, new beginnings usually experience problems. We'll see. On the whole, I'm excited but our family has a car. Cruz
