At Dr. Gabriel García General Hospital, our age-old vocation of service is based on unwavering ethical principles. As the third oldest hospital in Mexico, we understand that the trust of the Pátzcuaro community is our most valuable asset.

The Board of Directors: Governing and Oversight Body

Our institution is managed by a Board of Directors, the highest governing body of the Civil Association, whose mission is to ensure that the hospital fulfills its social purpose of providing specialized healthcare with a profound human touch.

The Board of Directors establishes, oversees, and guarantees compliance with integrity policies, ensuring that every donation and every fee is managed with complete transparency and honesty for the direct benefit of our patients and the maintenance of our historic building.

Our Code of Conduct

All personnel working at our facilities—medical specialists, nursing staff, administrative and operational staff—are governed by an Institutional Code of Conduct approved by the Board of Directors. This code is the compass that guides our daily actions, based on the following pillars:

1. Dignity and Respect for the Patient

We honor our legacy of over 350 years by treating each person with the dignity they deserve. We protect the modesty, privacy, and confidentiality of every patient, guaranteeing warm and professional treatment at all times.

2. Excellence and Medical Certification

Although our staff may rotate to ensure the continuity of medical knowledge, our quality standard is unwavering. The Board of Directors ensures that all affiliated physicians and consultants hold current certifications from the relevant boards in their specialty.

3. Integrity and Stewardship of Resources

As a non-profit institution, we operate under a strict efficiency framework. We treat every medical supply and piece of equipment as a community asset, ensuring that our ground-floor infrastructure and diagnostic technology are always in optimal condition.

4. Social Responsibility and Honesty

Our conduct both inside and outside the hospital must be impeccable. We do not tolerate favoritism or acts contrary to medical ethics. We are an institution open to all, where health is a right that we protect with technical and human integrity.

Ethics and Institutional Transparency

"At Dr. Gabriel García General Hospital, ethics is not an option, it is the foundation of our longevity and the guarantee of your health."

Sincerely, The Board of Directors
