What is PKS?

While I totally agree with the sentiments expressed. Just BUILDING a new hospital does nothing. It needs to be staffed and staffing it with personnel with advanced capabilities is not likely to happen any time soon. Zihuatanejo is simply too small to have enough patients to support most specialty care.

Hospital staffing, operations and equipping are responsibilities of the state and federal governments. The most the city can actually do would be to donate the land and the building. Although our mayor made a big production of going to Mexico City once to request a new hospital for us, it was apparently way too little effort and seriousness. So Lázaro Cárdenas got a new modern hospital instead. If we need modern medical care, we have to drive 2 hours to get it.
