The Bolivarian Government at the Dr. José Gregorio Hernández Hospital in Las Tejerías de Aragua, through the Municipal Surgical Plan, has performed 515 surgical interventions on inhabitants of the jurisdiction.

According to a local press release, the plan was devised by the municipal president, Régulo La Cruz, with the purpose of paying off the existing surgical debt with the people of Tejeria, so, in alliance with the national and regional government, which is part of the hospital's medical-surgical team, the recruitment day was carried out, for subsequent surgery for uterine myomatosis, gallstones, herniation, lipomas, sterilization (male and female), varicocele, hydrocele, cysts bumps, moles and warts.

“According to the mayor's premise, it's not just an operation, it's about restoring peace of mind to a father, a mother or a young person who couldn't afford these services in the private sector. Here we are, demonstrating that in Las Tejerías, life comes first, because all the postoperative periods have been satisfactory,” said Salinas.

He also commented that on Wednesdays of each week, the process of recruiting those inhabitants of the jurisdiction who require elective surgery takes place, “here we have a train of surgeons and anesthesiologists who carry out the respective evaluations and, subsequently, the surgical shifts are decided, with the aim of responding in the shortest possible time,” he said.

So far in the year 2026, the health center has provided assistance to more than 7 thousand people in the emergency area; while more than 3 thousand citizens have been treated through outpatient clinics in pediatrics, gynecology, obstetrics, neurosurgery and traumatology.
