Update on rapid pace of improvements at Joya Hospital San Miguel de Allende under the directorship of Dr. Emilio Ramirez

In less than three months Joya Hospital has made great strides toward becoming the top hospital within San Miguel and is rapidly moving toward providing a quality of care equal to many of the best hospitals worldwide. Acting on his commitment to ensuring 24 hour care by board certified emergency and critical care specialists, he has now recruited some of the best physicians in the wider area and the emergency room at Joya is staffed with this highly trained and experienced physicians.

As many readers are aware, merely having a specialist on staff cannot assure the reliable presence of essential as well as advanced equipment and medications. In his role as the Director General of the Hospital, Dr. Ramirez has been overhauling and upgrading the surgical suites, the laboratory equipment and is addressing issues of quality of care of both the physician and nursing staff. He is also turning his immediate attention to recruiting a wide range of specialists to attend patients at Joya in outpatient and inpatient settings.

The specialists available now or in the immediate future working at Joya include top ranking cardiologists, rheumatologists, pain management specialists, nephrologists, neurologists, geriatricians, bariatric specialists (surgical care of obesity), nutritionists, pediatricians, psychiatrists,  orthopedic, maxillofacial and plastic surgeons, general surgeons, gastroenterologists, hematologists, infectious disease specialists, neurologists, ophthalmologists, ENT specialists, urologists and gynecologists.

San Miguel is rapidly becoming a nexus for older expatriates as well as growing numbers of internal tourists, many at an increased risk of cardiac, neurologic and complex trauma. Immediate treatment of such events saves lives and delayed treatment can result in preventable long term injuries to vital organs as well as unnecessary deaths. We in San Miguel accept some degree of risk associated with our choice of living in Mexico. Increasingly we are able to lessen those risks but it takes planning and knowledge of the always changing medical environment.
