Local Hospital of Tauramena, and to the Municipal Mayor's Office of Villanueva, significantly strengthening the health service provider network and the specialized transfer of patients requiring priority care according to their pathologies.
The initiative framed within the Program for the Benefit of Communities had an investment close to $418 million (Excluding VAT), represented in three 4×2 diesel vehicles model 2021, fully equipped with what is established in the NTC 3729 standard and in Resolution 3100 of 2019 from the Ministry of Health and Social Protection.
“The Hospital had two basic ambulances and only one medicalized. This important donation made by Parex will expand and strengthen our vehicle fleet benefiting all the inhabitants of the Municipality,” said Nohora Mendoza, Manager of the Local Hospital Juan Hernando Urrego of Aguazul.
For his part, Tele Amaya, mayor of Tauramena, expressed: “I want to thank God for the investment that Parex is making today. This ambulance will renew our vehicle fleet that was already completing its life cycle and will increase the infrastructure capacity for the transfer of patients to the Regional Hospital of Orinoquía in Yopal. It is not the economic value of the ambulance, it is the service it will provide to the inhabitants of the Municipality. Thank you Parex for working in favor of the most sacred thing that God has given us, which is life.”.
“We are already more than 55,000 inhabitants, a population that urgently required an ambulance to provide timely service and save lives. Thank you Parex for contributing again to the health of our Villanuevenses,” expressed Oswal Fontecha, mayor of Villanueva.
