The remodeling at the Civil Hospital of Guadalajara is on time and in good shape. This was stated by the general director, Jaime Andrade Villanueva, who classified the work as “historic”, since never in its almost 230 years of operation had it had an intervention of this level. “Five rooms are already working in their entirety, of the original ones of the Fray Antonio Alcalde Hospital, which are Pablo Gutiérrez, Fortunato Arce, Francisco Macías Gutiérrez, Julio Clemens and Leonardo Oliva, where internal medicine patients and surgical areas are treated. In all these areas, not only has the physical space been remodeled, but it has also been fully equipped with beds, monitors, pumps and everything necessary”.
It was from the project to renew the health system that the Government of Jalisco began this intervention to provide better quality care to people who do not have social security.

Work is currently underway in the two remaining wards: Salvador García Diego and Juan Valdez, as well as in the areas of pulmonology, psychiatry, warehouses, pharmacies, the HIV unit, the hemodynamics unit and the coronary unit, in addition to the space for the dormitories of resident and intern physicians. “It is a deep remodeling that includes the transplant area and for people deprived of liberty… and all common spaces have also been rehabilitated, such as patios, corridors and the imaging area, where there is new equipment. And the area of teaching, social work and nursing is regarding to be completed”.
An investment of one billion pesos in works and equipment is estimated; however, the exact figure must be specified by the state government, responsible for the general intervention, although the Guadalajara City Council joined in the renovation of its perimeter walls.
