Diego Mar­tin May­or Ake­li­ah Glas­gow-Warn­er is rais­ing con­cerns over se­vere traf­fic dis­rup­tion and in­dis­crim­i­nate park­ing caused by a large-scale med­ical out­reach ini­tia­tive in Co­corite.

The ini­tia­tive, spear­head­ed by Hands In­ter­na­tion­al in col­lab­o­ra­tion with the Com­mu­ni­ty Hos­pi­tal of Sev­enth-day Ad­ven­tists, has at­tract­ed hun­dreds of pa­tients seek­ing cataract pro­ce­dures and oth­er med­ical ser­vices since last week­end, re­sult­ing in heavy con­ges­tion along the West­ern Main Road and sec­tions of the Diego Mar­tin High­way for sev­er­al hours.

While com­mend­ing the or­gan­is­ers for pro­vid­ing crit­i­cal health­care as­sis­tance to the pub­lic, Glas­gow-Warn­er said the ab­sence of prop­er com­mu­ni­ca­tion and traf­fic co­or­di­na­tion cre­at­ed ma­jor chal­lenges for res­i­dents and mo­torists through­out the re­gion.
