Today many are in need and at risk,” she said.\n\nOther residents, some with more than three decades linked to the sector, pointed out that the clinic operated for years as a community reference center and demanded that an official commission be sent to investigate the situation<\/strong>, evaluate the current conditions of the establishment and determine possible ways for its reopening or regularization.\n\nThe community reiterated its call to the President of the Republic, the National Congress, and health authorities to seek an urgent solution that guarantees<\/a> the right to health of the inhabitants of the area, while asking for sensitivity to the economic reality faced by hundreds of families.\n\n\n
