We can Cartagena considers regrettable the state in which is the Area II of health, whose figures, regardless of ideologies and parties, are outrageous for those who want to see them.
The latest data indicate that from September 2015 to September 2018, the number of people on the waiting list is 174,000.
They are 37,000 more now than three years ago.
Specifically in diagnostic tests there are 9,000 more people waiting than in the previous period, and for consultations the increase is 31,000 more.
The most bloody thing is that there are also 48,000 people in the Region who are still waiting to be able to enter those eternal lists.
Area II, to which Cartagena and other municipalities belong, is one of the most affected: for example, it takes 121 days to be operated, while in the rest of the Region the average is 102 days.
Are these, and many other reasons, which explain that the Platform for Public Health Salvemos el Rosell did not go yesterday to the appointment with the Regional Minister of Health of the Region of Murcia, Manuel Villegas.
From CTSSP and Podemos add to the fatigue of the Cartagena and Cartagena in health: "It is unworthy for a municipality with so many inhabitants that we are after so many years with this endemic problem.
We are not talking about luxuries but about basic rights such as health and access to medical care. "Said Pilar Marcos.
Since CTSSP have recalled that his parliamentary group proposed in the Regional Assembly devote more than 3 million health through the budget, amendments that have just been rejected by PP and C's.
"It is these parties, and not others, who must explain why they have a dismantled public health system that threatens the quality of life and the constitutional rights of Cartagena.
PP and C's have to explain why they have won again the policy of cutting and covert privatizations, that the only thing they get is more abandonment and poverty for the neighbors of Cartagena. "
