Currently, the ESE Santiago de Tunja has a leased ultrasound machine, which due to its characteristics and technical specifications does not allow it to provide timely care and the technical-scientific quality conditions required by users who come to this health institution in search of imaging services for the diagnosis of abdominal, gynaecological, obstetric, venous and arterial vessel, thyroid, breast, soft tissue swelling, arterial and venous Doppler pathologies, among others.
The demand for this service is approximately 500 patients per month, of which only 300 are treated on average, leaving 40% without the required studies, which causes late diagnoses, influencing the presence of complications, which considerably increases the costs of care, and also puts the lives of patients at risk. For the reasons stated above, it is necessary to provide the ESE with an ultrasound machine that responds comprehensively to the needs of patients.
