This new section of the clinic required an investment of 18 million pesos and, thanks to this effort it will now be possible to provide 30% more surgical procedures for the benefit of Vitro employees and their families, as well as       the community at large.

“We are very proud to take this step forward at the Clínica Vitro, an institution that, since it’s founding in 1947, has sought to bring health services of the highest standards by positioning itself as one of the best in its category in the country”, said Sada.

Montiel reminded that we are dealing with the first private health institution open to the general public that received the Nuevo Leon Quality Prize for 2005 in the health sector in the category of Hospital Services.

The expansion includes three operating rooms equipped with the most modern equipment.

“Clínica Vitro makes an extraordinary contribution to the community of the state, the region and even beyond our borders as it is a cornerstone for the state program Monterrey, City of Health projecting our city as one of the largest health centers in the world”, he stated.

Upon explaining the different characteristics of the new unit, Jesús Horacio González, Vitro Medical Services Director, mentioned that these all meet the strictest specifications from the Secretariat of Health

“The expansion is made up of three operating rooms equipped with the most modern and state of the art electro-medical equipment, a room dedicated to endoscopies, a recovery room, a pre-operative room and a sterilization center”, he explained.

In addition it houses a surgeon’s office, medical and nursing staff lounges, as well as spacious waiting and information areas for relatives all of which gives the doctors greater flexibility to practice the proper surgery procedures while offering a higher level of confidence to the public in general.

The older installations will be used for the creation of a new homodynamic area to practice cardiac catheterization procedures.
