Health Centers. All health centers together constitute one unit provided that inside per diems have preference for prescheduled per diem shifts at the health center where they are regularly employed. Outside P103's will only be assigned to a health center to which they have been oriented, except in a critical staffing situation.
Health Centers. Today the Villa Cochabamba health district has eight auxiliary nurses, the Xxxx Roja health district has six, and Distrito 2 has three. When the population of each health district and the number of auxiliary nurses is taken into account, each auxiliary nurse is in charge of about 2,300 residents. The supervisor of the Montero program reports that each auxiliary nurse is responsible for an average of 3,000 people. Since about 2009, there is one vigilante in each health district. Hence, in the beginning of program, the community-based health work, namely household visitation, was carried out by CHVs and all CSRA staff, then it was carried out by CHVs and auxiliary nurses, and since 2009 the auxiliary nurses do the large majority of the community-based health work. The Villa Cochabamba Health Center has three doctors, Xxxx Roja has four doctors and two part-time dentists, and Distrito 2 has one doctor. The Villa Cochabamba Health Center also provides ophthalmology services. Once a week three ophthalmologists come on a separate day to give consultations, but they do not perform surgery. The Xxxx Roja Health Center opened up a maternity xxxx in 2011 for low-risk deliveries. Construction of the maternity xxxx started in 2004, but the Center was not able to admit patients until 2011 when the new mayor agreed to pay for the salaries of the staff. The municipal government pays for all deliveries at this maternity xxxx through its health insurance program for women. A newspaper article on the opening of the maternity xxxx said that this satisfied one of Montero‘s greatest needs due to the overcrowded conditions and lower quality of care at the city hospital (Xxxxxx Xxxxxx, 2011). The equipping of the maternity xxxx was funded by CSRA, the municipal government, and donors from the U.S. (Xxxxxx Xxxxxx, 2011). The maternity xxxx accepts women from outside the CSRA service area.
Health Centers.
