The Municipal Group of Citizens in Cartagena announced today that it has transferred to the Regional Assembly the need for the Hemodynamics service of the Health Area II to extend its schedule to be operational 24 hours a day.

Citizens explained that "until now we did not think it was necessary to get involved in this matter because we understood that the Ministry of Health was determined to do so, but since they promised it more than a year and a half ago, this service continues to work only in the mornings in working days and transfers to Arrixaca de Murcia have not been avoided, apparently the PP shuffles on issues as sensitive as the quality of care of Cartagena, "said the local spokesman of Cs in Cartagena, Manuel Padín.

The management of the Health Area II said in October 2017 that they were "very interested" in extending the schedule to improve health care for patients with serious cardiovascular diseases in the municipalities of Cartagena, La Unión, Fuente Alamo and Mazarrón.

"This interest has not translated into a restructuring of the service and is still closed in the evenings and during weekends and holidays," Padín lamented.

Citizens have no evidence to date that no patient has died as a result of the time schedule of this service, "public authorities have to be very careful with their statements to not generate any kind of social alarm, it is an indisputable fact that the 24-hour opening of the hemodynamic unit in Cartagena will contribute to improving the care organization for acute myocardial infarction care, but to defend that position, it is not necessary to resort to data that has not been duly contrasted, "said Manuel Padín.

"If the City Council has not told the truth, it has to rectify what has been affirmed publicly as soon as possible or demonstrate what it is saying with evidence, what we can not do is cheerfully assure that since December 2017 three people have died because they have not received the attention necessary in time, the relatives of the deceased do not deserve to speculate irresponsibly and politically with these facts, "he has warned the orange training spokesman who does not rule out asking about this issue at the next plenary meeting and demand accountability.

"In principle, what we know is that patients who are referred to the city of Murcia make the journey in a fully equipped ambulance to meet these cases, with high levels of safety and first-class health professionals, and there are many factors that can cause the death, but we also know that they would be better served in the Hospital of Santa Lucía, the Arrixaca would see their workload relieved and the family members would not have to travel too much ", explained Manuel Padín who assures that the Community has to to fulfill his word, "when the promises have to do with the health of the people, their fulfillment must be sacred".
