With this planning, the ISSS seeks to maintain a balance between quality medical care and staff rest, ensuring that no patient is left unattended during the days of greatest tourist influx and internal displacement. Coordination with Plan Verano 2025 also allows for the reinforcement of response protocols for emergencies and accidents common during this season.
