Delivery phase II of the donation from Parex to Simón Bolívar Hospital

Through a joint effort between Parex Resources Colombia Ltd. Branch, the Simón Bolívar Hospital in Bogotá, the North Subnetwork of Health Services of the District, the District Secretary of Health, and the Ministry of Health and Social Protection, efforts and resources were combined to intervene 640 m² of the physical infrastructure of the Simón Bolívar Hospital in Bogotá.

This project corresponds to the second phase of the donation made by Parex for $1.6 million dollars, as part of the celebration of its first 10 years in Colombia. The work that is being delivered today involved an investment of 597,000 dollars translated into a significant improvement in the conditions and services of the Burned Intermediate Care Unit of the Hospital, moving from collective rooms to 22 individual rooms with the required standards, including specialized equipment and rehabilitation and patient care spaces, as well as optimal areas for the well-being of medical and nursing staff.

The adaptation and remodeling of the UCIM took place amid the health emergency generated by the COVID-19 pandemic. However, the observation of industrial safety and biosecurity protocols allowed the work to be carried out without incidents. And thanks to the coordinated actions of Parex, the Hospital, and the North Subnetwork, the work was developed with minimal impact on the activities of the Institution.

In this way, the importance of building strategic alliances and trust ties is reaffirmed to significantly contribute to the well-being of many Colombians who turn to this important institution in search of comprehensive, timely, and quality care.
