The mayor of San Isidro, Gustavo Posse, inaugurated a hyperbaric medicine room at the Ciudad de Boulogne Municipal Hospital. It is a piece of equipment to increase the concentration of oxygen in the blood and treat neurodegenerative diseases, carbon monoxide poisoning, gangrene and diabetes, among other pathologies.
“Having this hyperbaric chamber in a municipal public health system fills us with pride because it means improving the quality of life of our neighbors. Health is a priority, which is why we are going to continue adding new technologies in our three hospitals,” said Posse.
Currently, hyperbaric oxygen therapy is a fundamental (non-invasive) tool in the recovery of patients with different diseases. This is a rare piece of equipment in the public sector.
The Secretary of Public Health of the Municipality, Juan Viaggio, recalled that this hyperbaric treatment was successfully implemented at the Central Hospital of San Isidro during the pandemic as part of a global research study to reduce the inflammatory reaction caused by Covid-19.
