Guatemala’s Social Security Institute (IGSS) announced the suspension of non-emergency outpatient consultations and administrative office services on Monday, June 29th, due to a national holiday. The announcement clarifies which services will remain operational during the day. Essential services, though unspecified in this report, will continue functioning as usual. This temporary closure aims to allow IGSS personnel to observe the holiday. The IGSS did not detail which specific holiday prompted the closure, but indicated it is a nationally observed day of rest. Individuals requiring urgent medical attention are expected to be accommodated despite the limited staffing. Further information regarding specific service availability can be obtained directly from the IGSS.
