The city council of Mérida has launched a innovative healthcare initiative aimed at providing care and attention for the city’s most vulnerable people. The Doctor at Home program has been instrumental in improving the lives of seniors, such as María Guadalupe Lara Miranda, who was diagnosed with high blood pressure after suffering a hip fracture.
Under the expert medical care provided by Esaú Rosado Vega, Lara Miranda has made significant progress in her recovery and is now able to move with support. The program’s attending physician works closely with the beneficiary to address their unique needs and provide comprehensive care at home.
The program’s success was confirmed by Mérida Mayor Cecilia Patrón Laviada, who visited Lara Miranda along with Alfonso Ávila Avilés, Deputy Director of Health. “Caring for and being close to those with mobility limitations is essential,” said Ávila Avilés. “With love and commitment, we can achieve better environments for our seniors and vulnerable people.”
The city council’s initiative has provided a significant number of medical consultations, including 3,138 home doctor visits. The program aims to bridge the gap in healthcare services for those who cannot access a medical center due to their health condition or disability.
Jesús Pérez Ballote, Director of Human Well-being, reported that the city council’s efforts have made a substantial impact on the health and well-being of Mérida’s citizens. The Doctor at Home program is just one example of the various initiatives and services provided by the city council to ensure that its residents receive quality healthcare and comprehensive care.
