Now almost completely.

“Since I took over the management of the place and with the support of the municipal government, in addition to the Tizayuca DIF system, this matter is resolved. We entered this site in dire need because the place had complaints and the first thing was to solve the legal problem and from the positions that we had to expedite the construction of the quarantine area which There was already a Profepa fine and with the support of the mayor, Susana Ángeles, as well as the head of the DIF system, Adriana Ángeles, we committed to this measure in just 50 days.

The kitchen and the pharmacy will also be ready, which is currently being built and will be completed this year, and the operating room will also be started, so we will comply with one hundred percent, and now we are the best face of the municipality. And we will continue to face it in 2022.
