There was an article in the newspaper today about our local hospital. Hospital Regional Atlántida serves our city of La Ceiba as well as the surrounding area for a total of approximately 1.2 million people. The hospital conditions and resources are deplorable. The locals refer to Hospital Regional Atlántida as "where people go to die." The six operating rooms have been contaminated by dirt and water. The hospital is void of medication including things as basic as acetaminophen. Doctors are so tired of the conditions that starting Friday they are only attending to emergencies and patients previously admitted. Selective surgery and outpatient procedures have been suspended indefinitely.
Please pray for our medical teammates that serve in clinics throughout the city (Nurse Erin, Doctor Roger, PA Renee). Read about Clínica Árbol de a Vida, a medical clinic run by our teammates.
Please pray that action would be taken quickly to bring this hospital up to an acceptable level.
