Yagua Health remains committed to improving access to quality diagnostic services in Aruba. In 2022, it officially informed the Government of Aruba, which is currently in caretaker status, as well as key Public Health entities and hospital partners, of its commitment to expanding diagnostic services through private investments. Yagua Health believes โ and still holds the opinion โ that prioritizing MRI services provides much-needed additional capacity to help reduce the current waiting list, which can impact essential care. As part of this initiative, in 2022, the service was offered at the same price that AZV (the national health insurance) is currently paying to increase capacity and ensure accessibility to MRI services locally. This includes specific MRI studies that are currently being referred to other countries, such as Colombia.
It is worth noting that despite all these efforts, the service has not been made available to patients on the waiting list, as access to this additional and available service has not been facilitated for those patients.
Understanding the need for timely diagnostics, and in response to the demand from patients willing to pay for accessible service, Yagua Health will continue to focus on prioritizing the patient as its central goal. Effective immediately, Punta Brabo Diagnostics will offer MRI services at the most affordable price possible to the general community.
Located at Caya Punta Brabo 11A, next to Dr. Horacio E. Oduber Hospital, the diagnostic center will ensure that more people in the community can access essential imaging if they wish to do so without using their rights as insured patients.
Yagua Health believes that private investments can be integrated into our current healthcare system to the benefit of the community as a whole.
Meanwhile, it will continue advocating with healthcare authorities to join forces with Punta Brabo Diagnostics Aruba to eliminate unnecessary barriers that are currently limiting the communityโs access to healthcare.
At Yagua Health, we believe that broad access to advanced medical imaging is a fundamental part of quality healthcare. We will continue to invest in innovative solutions to support the well-being of Aruba's community and contribute to a stronger, more efficient healthcare system.
