Doctors at the Health Centre in San Javier treat an average of 70 patients a day, which means they only have 5 minutes to spend with each person. The Medical Co-ordinator for the Centre, Don. Salomon Rivera, stated that the situation is getting unbearable and patients are having to wait up to an hour for an appointment, only to be rushed out again. Each doctor at the Centre has an average of 2,340 patients on their consultancy list; this is 250 more patients per doctor than the recommended number.

Gusts Blew 34-Metre Palm Down:
The high winds experienced in the region on Tuesday blew down several trees, electricity cables, and streetlights throughout the region, however most of the wind damage was coastal. One of the casualties of the gales was a 34-metre, 200-year-old palm tree. It stood in the Plaza de la Merced in Cartagena. Nobody was hurt when the top half of the palm tree fell into the Plaza because police officers had cleared the area when it became apparent that the trunk could not stand up to the 103 kph winds.
