The main objective of this public proposal is to contract the service of ophthalmology surgical interventions, with the purpose of responding to the high existing demand, addressing both patients with pathologies included in the GES Explicit Health Guarantees, as well as those who are currently on the waiting list, giving priority to cases classified as COMGES. The need for this purchase is due to the insufficient availability of surgical pavilions during institutional hours, a situation that has limited the establishment's resolution capacity in the face of the growing number of patients requiring surgical ophthalmological care. At the same time, with the limited availability of surgical pavilions for this specialty, the prioritization of patients with more complex pathologies, those with Explicit Guarantees in GES Health and surgical emergencies that require immediate attention is added, which is insufficient to absorb the existing demand for patients in this specialty. This gap between installed capacity and effective demand has generated an accumulation of pending cases, negatively impacting clinical resolution times and compliance with deadlines for GES patients. From a clinical point of view, the timely resolution of ophthalmological patients, both GES and non-GES, is essential to avoid the progression of pathologies that can lead to severe visual deterioration or even irreversible blindness. Many of these conditions require surgical intervention within a limited period to preserve visual function, prevent associated complications and avoid worsening of the clinical picture. Postponing these surgeries not only carries a risk to the patient's ocular health, but can also negatively impact their autonomy, quality of life, and functional capacity. In older adult patients, for example, visual loss is
