On October 15, 2026, at the office of the Ixil Women’s Network in Nebaj, El Quiché, REDC-SALUD, the CEGSS, and representatives of the Oversight and Monitoring Commission held their monthly follow-up meeting.

During the meeting, participants reviewed commitments related to community oversight and efforts aimed at improving the municipality’s health services, including the construction of a new hospital, the establishment of a PROAM pharmacy, the equipping of the laboratory, and the availability of ambulances.

It was also reported that the contract for the renovation project at the Santa María Nebaj District Hospital has not yet been awarded due to an ongoing administrative dispute.

In light of this situation, the organizations agreed to request meetings with the departmental governor and the National Health Commission to outline the population’s needs and promote alternatives that would help improve hospital infrastructure and the quality of care.

Citizen oversight and coordination among organizations and communities are essential for monitoring institutional commitments and promoting dignified and timely health services.
