Abstract
INER is a respiratory-illness treating institution which has faced diverse health challenges including tuberculosis and VIH; yet, at present, it is facing a new one: the unexpected 2009 A H1N1 influenza outbreak in Mexico. This massive incident provoked the implementation of urgent sanitary measurements including: the organization of human, physical and material resources; the establishment of-Infection Committee coordinated measurement towards illness prevention, control and management; and the establishment of the TRIAGE on concentration services towards patients with confirmed or dubious influenza (Urgencies, Consult, Urgencies Observation, Intensive Therapy Unit, Intermediate Therapy Unit and Clinical 5). Thanks to these measurements and the INER’s nursing personnel team work, we were able to control the outbreak propagation, but also to create consciousness among doctors and nurses to successfully face the new respiratory-illnesses challenges.
