Search for missing man with schizophrenia in Panama

Panama - Mr. Agudino Ríos Camargo, 55 years old, was reported missing yesterday afternoon, so his relatives notified the National Civil Protection System (Sinaproc), whose personnel began a search operation from the early hours of this morning. Alexander Guardado, regional director of Sinaproc in Coclé, indicated that the man suffers from a health condition (schizophrenia), so his relatives remain anxious about his absence. He added that the last time the man was seen, he was in the Miraflores area, on the road to the El Coco district, in Penonomé. Relatives and residents of the area have joined the search efforts being conducted by 15 Sinaproc units. Additionally, Guardado noted, "a drone is being used to cover more ground in less time." Guardado requested that citizens who have relatives who suffer from mental illnesses not let them go out alone or without their medications.
