The waiting lists in Area II are the highest in the Region of Murcia
The Hemodynamics Unit of the Santa Lucía Hospital only works in the morning, so during the evenings and weekends, patients with acute myocardial infarction receive another less effective treatment or are transferred
We are Region denounces the disastrous management of Area II of Health, which is causing serious inconveniences to the residents of Cartagena and its region.
The coordinator of Somos Región in Cartagena, Ana Belén Pérez Nicolás, recalled that "we have been reporting that at least 62 beds between the two hospitals in the area have been closed for months.
In addition, the activity of evenings is minimal and the cuts of personnel continue, what does not contribute to reduce the enormous waiting lists ".
The Health Area II is the one with the largest waiting lists in the Region of Murcia.
And this, despite having exceptional human resources, but poorly managed.
"Cartagena needs the Santa María del Rosell Hospital to function 100%, as our regional representatives approved in the Assembly.
Among the many verifiable deficiencies, it is worth mentioning the schedule of the Hemodynamics Unit of the Hospital de Santa Lucía.
Indeed, the treatment of first choice for the patient suffering an acute myocardial infarction is primary angioplasty.
The earlier this treatment is performed, the better it is in terms of mortality and morbidity.
In the area of ​​Cartagena, in the morning, this treatment is performed for the infarction;
On the other hand, the rest of the hours of the day or the weekends treat the infarction with thrombolysis (less effective and with more complication rate) or transfer the patient to the Virgen de la Arrixaca Hospital, to perform primary angioplasty with the risks which assumes the delay that is assumed and the transport of the patient.
With the extension of the schedule of the Hemodynamics room in Cartagena to 24 hours a day, 365 days a year, the infarction assistance in Areas II and VIII would be improved and, therefore, in the Region.
There are issues that have become recurrent and are never solved.
For Somos Región, it is essential that the nefarious management of Area II of Cartagena be improved once and for all and "we ask the Government of the Region to adopt the necessary measures to alleviate this deficient attention that causes the residents of Cartagena and their region can not receive the medical assistance they deserve.
