Citizens have demanded that the current number of places of average care in Cartagena hospitals be maintained "since patients receive excellent care, so it would be convenient to extend this model to hospitals in Murcia".

Juan José Molina, regional deputy for Citizens, visited the Perpetuo Socorro hospital in Cartagena, where he had the opportunity to learn about the work that professionals do with patients, the vast majority of them of advanced age, who need medium care.

"We have seen that patients receive excellent hospital care 24 hours a day;

However, workers have told us that the Ministry of Health is considering reducing the number of beds because they believe that the cost, which is 84 euros per day per person, is very high.

In this regard, Molina has pointed out that since the administration is intended that some of the families take their relatives to their homes, "but many families understand that this help is insufficient, and above all, the problem is that they are not prepared to provide these people, who are usually elderly with different pathologies, a care as complete as that offered to them in hospitals, and in a residence they can not receive adequate treatment either, as it greatly diminishes the quality ".

The deputy of Cs has reported that in situations like this it seems that the regional government puts the numbers before people "and therefore from Citizens understand that the approach should not be to eliminate this type of attention, but find the appropriate form of funding so that This system, which is good and offers a very high quality of care, can be maintained "For this Molina has offered to work with the Ministry of Health, so that this system is not only maintained in Cartagena hospitals, but also that also be implemented in hospitals in the city of Murcia.

"Health should not be based on numbers, but on finding a formula to guarantee quality treatment.

Therefore, reducing the number of places of average care would be a serious error that would harm many families.

We must work to improve our health and not take measures that worsen the quality of life of patients and their families "has completed the deputy of the orange training.
