Also consult what is happening. There is also the patient sector where Santiago Peña would be making his rounds. Part of this work. How are you, professor? Once this surgical procedure is completed , all patients have a great opportunity to receive this service completely free of charge, preventing them from having to travel to other parts of the country, or even to the capital, to undergo these procedures; now they can do so at the regional hospital in Concepción. This is the second activity of the President of the Republic, Sandio Peño. The President of the Republic is also preparing to enter the sector here where the patients are. Appropriate clothing will be required for entry into this country, and it is noted that the next one, which has been inaugurated here in Concepción, would be in the city of Orqueta. So there are four of them who will be flying from Concepción, and we're going to see if we can talk to some people who are waiting their turn to be seen here at the Concepción Regional Hospital . Good morning, how are you? Good morning, ma'am. We are live for the entire country. We'd like to know what you think of the care they're offering at the hospital. And as I already told the president when he came to greet me, right? Thank you for your attention. FM. Ah, look, from here in Concepción. No, I'm from Orqueta. Oh, I 've also worked for young people, for children. I also offered something, as doctors do; I also offered something for our youth. Thank you. Thank you very much, ma'am. Best of luck with your next performance. Thank you. Well, these were the words of Mrs. Crescencia, one of the beneficiaries of this free program to access these interventions. Ah, your brother, your brother is receiving this free service then, a service that suddenly costs a lot to get, Francisco, but now he has it for free at the hospital. Yes, and that obviously means quite a lot, not only because of the time that was mentioned as coming from the orchestra, but there's also the issue of transportation, the costs, and above all, that respite that is given to the pockets of each family who are present at this time. Well, to give you an idea, the president is currently in the operating room, getting dressed, putting on the necessary equipment to enter the area where the patients are, who will have this opportunity, and above all, what it means is that there is something very important to highlight: behind each surgery there is a person seeking to recover or improve something fundamental, such as vision, undoubtedly, and health is often measured in large numbers, in the quantity of consultations, procedures, or medications dispensed, but when one gets close to the patients, one understands that each intervention represents a personal story and a concrete possibility of improving the quality of life. And these sessions, these sessions that we have today with the presence of the president, allow us to bring specialized procedures closer to patients who in many cases would have to travel to other parts of the country to access this type of care, and that is also part of the challenge of bringing health services to the entire national territory. In a few moments the president will enter this room where the patients are, then he will also go to the inauguration of a few hours at a police station that is approximately 10 minutes from the Regional Hospital of Concepción to continue with his official agenda for the day which has perhaps one of the most important events at this time. Then the implementation of building improvements at the Immaculate Tenth Police Station . Visit to the coastal defense expansion works area and drainage works. Tour and verification of the construction works of the future market of the Concepción producer. And finally, the president will have the inauguration ceremony for housing for the departments of Concepción. In just a moment, we will continue with more news here on the agenda of the President of the Republic from the department of Concepción.
