Bridge Damage Threatens Health Supplies In Nariño
A bridge over the Mayo River connecting the departments of Nariño and Cauca may not be reopened as scheduled this Thursday. Transport workers have reported that no construction work is visible in the area despite previous announcements. The bridge is a key link for connecting Nariño to the interior of Colombia. Sebastián Villada previously announced the bridge could open on Thursday. Damage to a bridge on the Panamericana highway is affecting the southwest region of Nariño. The disruption may lead to shortages of medical technologies, including medicines, intravenous fluids, and surgical materials. The impact depends on how many days are required to repair the bridge and the road. This situation threatens the ability to guarantee healthcare processes in the area.
