We will take your temperature and give you alcohol-based antibacterial gel at the entrance of the hospital. Staff will signal you to a special alcohol-infused sponge to clean your shoes from any pathogens you might have picked up outside.
In each of our hospitals, you will see signals to keep a healthy distance from others.
Our staff will always use personal protective equipment such as a mouth cover and antibacterial gel for safe interactions.

In compliance with the measures proposed by the National Institute for Diagnosis and Epidemiological Reference (InDRE per the acronym in Spanish), we will always take your vital signs along with some questions that will help us know if you could have the COVID-19 virus. We will take care of all suspicious cases in our Special Units for Respiratory Infections that are isolated from the rest of the hospital.
In case a person fulfills the definition for a suspicious case, they will be directed by our Special Unit for Respiratory Infections staff to the designated isolation area.
In these units, we have strict access control to all people who enter:

The rest of our patients who require medical attention not pertaining to the pandemic can be sure that they will be treated by staff who have no contact with COVID-19 cases so that you and your family can feel safe.
All consultation rooms are disinfected before and after each new patient.
Our operating rooms maintain the same temperature and comply with exhaustive cleanings and first-level instruments adequately sanitized, as well as surgeons who are fully equipped for any surgery.

This program manages 3 main protocols:
Our hospitals are classified into four different isolation zones:
Spaces where there are no COVID-19 confirmed or suspicious patients, the staff in this area have no contact whatsoever with COVID-19 confirmed or suspected cases, nor do they participate in risky activities.
Space where patients are assessed for consultation as suspicious COVID-19 cases or where there is transit for staff who tend to these cases.
Space before entering rooms with COVID-19 suspicious or confirmed cases, this space is isolated from all other zones.
Space where there are COVID-19 suspicious or confirmed cases (patient room), or the area where the test for COVID-19 is taken.
For every zone, there are specific guidelines for personal protective equipment, hygiene and cleanliness measures, and restricted access.
In respect to hygiene and cleanliness, it is the most critical aspect of our protocols; we prioritize the cleanliness of all areas, surfaces, and equipment in consideration to each zone.
Our staff uses all personal protective equipment and medical grade products to clean all areas.
Aligned with our mission of preserving and establishing the well-being of our patients, we have created a Safety Committee in each unit as well as a Corporate Committee, ready to adapt to any changes that this new reality entails.
Our vocation drives us to prevail, at Costamed Medical Group we are always ready to serve you as you deserve.
