TIJUANA BC (Frontera, Laura Durán, 5/16/11) - Since the beginning of the year, 17 rehabilitation centers in the State have been shut down for failing to comply with a minimum of 80% of Official 028 Health Standards which assess care, equipment, structure, feeding and hygiene. According to the State Secretary of Health, José Guadalupe Bustamante Moreno, there is strict compliance and review of the law to give prompt and dignified care. "17 have closed this year because they will never meet the standard. We demand to see the corrective actions. They are promises we are not going to get because they don’t have adequate equipment or infrastructure", said Bustamante. There are currently 174 centers operating at the minimum 80% of the official standard rating. The Secretary of Health indicated that it is very careful with these institutions as the mistake at one center affects the image of all. They operated like that 10 years ago when the infrastructure conditions were precarious.
