Durango Gov. Jorge Herrera Caldera said on Friday that, in 2014, his administration will purchase new mobile breast cancer and cervical cancer detection units in order to strengthen women’s healthcare.
Herrera Caldera said that these mobile cancer detection units will cost a total of 5.8 million pesos ($443,000) and will visit each municipality in the state, with the goal of promoting a culture of prevention and the early detection of these types of cancer.
With the goal of reducing the number of mothers who die during childbirth, the state government will also purchase three latest-generation ultrasound machines, to be installed in hospitals, as well as one ambulance, and will establish a budget for the rental of airplanes for obstetrical emergencies in rural areas, a government press release said.
State Health Secretary Eduardo Díaz Juárez said that “these actions were made with the unconditional support of Tere Álvarez del Castillo de Herrera, president of the State Family Development Agency (DIF), who has promoted (the purchase) of this type of equipment.”
Díaz thanked the workers of the State Health Secretariat for their hard work to reduce the number of mothers who die during childbirth.
