Grupo México to speed up Oaxaca hospital works

Mining company Grupo México will complete in less than 10 days a 180mn-peso (US$7.80mn) hospital in southern Oaxaca state as Mexico enters stage two of the contingency plan to contain the coronavirus. 

Although President Andrés Manuel López Obrador (AMLO) had promised to open the hospital on March 20, he said Thursday during his morning press conference that “there were difficulties in the efforts to equip the hospital.”

He added, “so when they informed me [that the hospital wasn’t fully equipped], I said that I was not going to inaugurate the hospital like that because they wasted time.”

The 60-bed, 6,800m2 hospital the mining company builds in Juchitan de Zaragoza municipality is among the 10 new hospitals defense ministry Sedena will run to treat COVID-19 cases.

Grupo México donated 170mn pesos to construction, while 10mn pesos came from volunteers’ donations, the company said in a statement.

The hospital will also serve patients in the Tehuantepec isthmus region, where the administration is building a major rail corridor.
