Well, last week I asked if you knew what to do or where to go if you had an emergency while in Sayulita.  In this article, we will see what medical services are available to us in the village.

1. Salud Clinic (Revolucion ave, located on the left side as you enter Sayulita)
   The original idea for this clinic is to provide General and Emergency Medicine to low-income  Mexican families in Sayulita. This Clinic, commonly referred as "Salud",  is staffed by a medical undergraduate doctor who changes annually, and this year's undergrad is Jose Barion, MPSS who is responsible for the unit. He attends to emergencies 24 hours a day.
2. Dr. Jose Luis Chavez & Dr. Monica Herrera (Miramar st, across Sayulita's bookstore)
   Both are general physicians and have their own pharmacy with similar medicines; most of their patients are locals and tourists. Emergency care provided 24 hrs.
3. City Medica Sayulita (21 Marlin st)
   They attend mostly to tourists, and change the doctor on duty daily. They also have laboratory and pharmacy services. Emergency care provided 24 hrs.
4. Dr. Moises Cuevas Paulina Martinez Q. (52 B & C Revolucion ave, between the plaza and Rollie's)
   We offer general medicine, chiropractic, laboratory and pharmacy. Our patients are local and foreign residents, as well as tourists. We provide emergency care 24 hrs.

My recommendation is that you know beforehand the location of these places and get to meet the doctor to know his/her protocol in the event of a medical emergency where your life might be in danger.

I also want to mention that the medical facilities above are the only ones legally authorized by the health department to have a practice in this town.  Having any sort of medical attention (check-up, diagnose, prescribe or treat) inside pharmacies is penalized and it is irresponsible.

I ask you to be very careful with your health and your body, especially when it comes to an emergency.

Saludos,

Salud en Sayulita: Doctores del pueblo.Muy bien la semana pasada te pregunte si sabias que hacer o adonde acudir en caso de que tuvieras una emergencia en Sayulita, en esta ocasion vamos a ver cuales son los servicios con los que contamos en el pueblo.

1. Clinica de Salud
   La idea original de esta clinica es dar servicio de Medicina General y Emergencias a la poblacion mexicana habitante de Sayulita de bajos recursos economicos. Esta Clinica es atendida por un medico pasante que cambia anualmente y en este año toca el turno a Jose A Barion MPSS quien es el responsable de la unidad. Atienden emergencias 24 hrs.
2. Dr. Jose Luis Chavez & Dr. Monica Herrera
   Ambos son medicos generales y tienen su propia farmacia con medicamentos similares, atienden a la poblacion local y turistas. Atencion de emergencias las 24 hrs.
3. City Medica Sayulita
   Sus pacientes son principalmente turistas, cada dia cambian de medico de guardia el cual es bilingue. Tienen ademas servicio de laboratorio y farmacia. Atencion de emergencias las 24 hrs.
4. Dr. Moises Cuevas y Q.Paulina Martinez
   Ofrecemos servicio de medicina general, quiropractico, laboratorio y farmacia. Nuestros pacientes son residentes locales y extranjeros, asi como turistas. Atendemos emergencias las 24 hrs en nuestro consultorio y/o a domicilio.

Mi recomendacion es que conozcas la ubicacion de estos lugares y preguntes a los medicos cual es su protocolo en caso de una emergencia medica donde tu vida este en peligro.

 

Quiero mencionarte que los mencionados arriba son los unicos establecimientos medicos legalmente autorizados por el departamento de salud. Dentro de las farmacias esta penalizado y es irresponsable el diagnosticar, prescribir, tratar, atender cualquier tipo de servicio medico. Te pido que tengas cuidado con tu salud y tu cuerpo sobre todo al tratarse de una emergencia.

Saludos,

Dr. Moy Cuevas
