During the last few days, the MC Cartagena municipal group has collected the concerns of a large group of neighbors, who have warned of a new and inadmissible situation in health care in our area of ​​influence.
Thus, for several weeks, different specialties covered by the Hospital of Santa Lucia, such as ophthalmology or vascular, is reducing their attention due to the loss of doctors, transfer or medical leave, absences that are not replaced.
This circumstance has caused that a significant number of citizens have come to their appointment, not being pre-vised, to realize that the assigned doctor was not consulting.
This situation causes a domino effect when having to be referred to another doctor, with the consequent accumulation of attention.
In this way, the quality of the service is weakened.
Also the effectiveness, because some of these neighbors must wait up to a year to have an appointment that has corresponded to them in recent dates.
Some of these cases are aggravated because they are patients who require constant vigilance due to the severity of the disease.
At this juncture, Cartagena councilwoman María José Soler has demanded that "these deficiencies be corrected immediately, a doctor must be replaced by another, and it is something that must be foreseen and scheduled, it is a new fudge that we have to suffer those of always, the Cartagena, and the localities that register in our health area ".
"It is unacceptable that the minimum conditions are not guaranteed, it is a fundamental right systematically violated, they should understand that everyone can not go to private care and that, in many cases, they do not have the means available to them. Public health: We remind you again that the health of a Cartagena is as important as that of a local neighbor to whom these doctors send. "
In this way, MC Cartagena has once again manifested its commitment to neighborhood demands, becoming a speaker, as it did last Wednesday, demanding the local government, during the plenary session, to urge the regional executive to keep patient care in the Hemodynamics Unit of the Hospital of Santa Lucia in an uninterrupted manner.
Summer closing of Rosell
Finally, the Cartagena training has wanted an early clarification by the regional government about the rumors that point to a closure of the emergency door of Hospital del Rosell during the summer period.
