Proyecto de adecuación de antiguo centro de salud nuestra señora de las nieves en los Santos, Santander

Abstract

Los Santos, a Colombian municipality located in the department of Santander, today presents a greater vitality thanks to tourism, a situation that is reversed in an increase in the demand for goods and services that adequately meet the needs of its inhabitants. Health is one of them so it is necessary to reevaluate the benefits of the facilities present in the urban area. Thus, the project proposes an intervention aimed at readjusting the current functioning of the old health center Nuestra Señora de las Nieves, which until recently ensured to meet the basic needs of the population of the urban area and the rural area of the municipality. Although a new health center has been built in the urban periphery, specialized medical services are required to meet the demands inherent in the population growth that the municipality has witnessed over the last few years and that, therefore, has modified the standards in terms of health requirements. In this order of ideas, the project seeks to remodel the old construction of the health center so that it houses integral physiotherapy services that support the new health center and that meet specific population requirements, previously detected, in terms of this service.
