Doors and windows at the Ilha Brava Health Center need urgent repair due to problems with infiltration and insect invasion
Ilha Brava, October 3, 2023 - The Ilha Brava Health Center is facing serious deterioration problems in its doors and windows, creating a series of challenges ranging from water infiltration to insect invasion and mold formation. The deterioration of structures compromises the hygiene and safety of the facilities, generating concerns among local residents and health unit staff.
The situation was brought to public attention by users, who reported gaps in doors and windows that are allowing insects and other small animals, such as rats, flies and lizards, to enter. Furthermore, water infiltration has caused damage to the walls and ceiling, leading to the formation of mold in several areas of the facility. These problems have the potential to affect the quality of medical care provided to patients.
In response to this worrying situation, “we only received the promise of a new hospital, which we don’t know when”, says a user of the aforementioned center. Right now procedures will need to be planned for carrying out urgent repairs to the Health Center. Construction technicians will be needed to assess the full scope of necessary renovations. The objective will be to strengthen the structure of doors and windows, eliminate infiltrations and deal with the mold problem comprehensively.
All people interviewed by Bravanews, not wanting their names exposed, expressed their concerns about the situation, stating that the health and well-being of patients and staff should be a top priority. All necessary measures must be taken to ensure that the Ilha Brava Health Center is a safe and healthy environment for everyone.
All users are concerned to know that the situation is not being handled correctly and are even more alarmed to know that the Health Delegate does not have this on his main agenda.
Renovations are expected to begin as soon as possible to ensure the Health Center continues to be a vital resource for the community. The Government is responsible for complying with the law that guarantees that the quality of healthcare is available to everyone without exception.
