DSC 0048Bahía de Banderas has a BRU in Valle

The president of the DIF of Bahía de Banderas, María del Refugio Gómez de Cervantes, runs an institution of social benefit for people who need help.

When we speak of rehabilitation we speak of a level of medical attention that is located in the third level of attention to illness; the first level is prevention, the second is diagnosis and treatment and the third is rehabilitation.

Physical rehabilitation as a medical area is in charge of recovering as much as possible the capacities of an individual who has suffered some injury or sickness and reincorporating him to his daily activities.


The System for the Integral Development of the Family (DIF) of Bahía de Banderas, which is presided by the lady María del Refugio Gómez de Cervantes,  has a basic rehabilitation unit (BRU), attended by the doctor Araceli Barraza Zapata, with the support of the orthopaedist Ángel Gutiérrez Frías,  as well as physical therapists.

DSC 0011They take over the process after the patient is diagnosed by a determined specialist, or when he gets to the institution he is valued to determine if there is a rehabilitation process for a better development in the process of the recovery of the patient.

Among the most common cases that are attended in the BRU of the DIF of the municipality are fractures, sprains and muscular pain. The most severe cases that they have attended are medullar sectioning (column injury which prevents one from walking) and the vascular cerebral accidents which affect functions of mobility, equilibrium, vision, speech and even the state of consciousness.

In many cases, within a determined rehabilitation time, they have achieved greater independence for the patients, greater mobility and of course a better quality of life, which is the goal of the rehabilitation process.

In the BRU of the municipal DIF there are machines to help in a better rehabilitation and qualified personnel for a timely and professional attention to whomever needs it. The service is completely free and operates from Monday to Friday from 9:00 to 15:00 hours. For more information you can dial the conventional number (01 329) 29 1 00 50.
