Recent reports from the Ministry of Public Labor and the Public Prosecutor's Office have highlighted problems such as lack of proper bedding, inadequate staff uniforms, security concerns during night shifts, and deficiencies in radiology services. Despite these issues, the hospital remains the main reference for urgent and emergency care in the region.
