The El Tintal Pediatric Hospital is the first public hospital in the city to be accredited by Icontec for its quality in the provision of health services.

The hospital has a team of 270 professionals, technicians, and subcontracted services to care for young residents of the city.

Secretary of health Alejandro Gómez said: “This is a work that we had as a commitment to the city’s children, who had to wait almost eight years to see it become a reality. 

“With it, public hospitals are at the level and quality of private ones.
