This space fills with hope the people of the region who will now have a new place for medical assistance.
Military engineers, in coordination with the National Disaster Risk Management Unit, supported the transfer and unloading of a field hospital in the department of La Guajira, with the purpose of benefiting about 57,000 people in the area.
It took four days to transfer this hospital from the city of Bogotá to the village of Nazareth, municipality of Uribia, in Alta Guajira. This complex displacement presented great challenges due to the difficult topographical conditions.
This second-level hospital space will benefit the inhabitants of the villages of the northern area of Alta Guajira, such as Puerto Estrella, Puerto López, Punta Espada, Guarerpa, Castilletes, Taroa, Siapana, Taguaira and Nazareth, which will contribute to meet the basic needs and access to health.
The men and women of Colombian National Army not only work for security, but in the same way bring hope and well-being to those who need it most, as an example of the unwavering commitment of the soldiers, who, beyond their duty, provide selfless support to vulnerable communities.
