Regrets that "every time there is an advance in health care, opposition launches apocalyptic messages to citizens Cartagena"
He claims that the data offered today "are absolutely false, since the number of beds per thousand inhabitants in Area II is 3.7, being the highest in the region and above the national average"
The secretary general of the Ministry of Health and Social Policy, Martin Quiñonero, today responded to the statements of various political parties and organizations about the closure of the emergency door of Santa Maria del Rosell Hospital, asking them to "think again about the damage cause citizens trying to make political gain on an issue as sensitive and important as health in Cartagena ".
The secretary general impact on that "it is absurd to continue the discourse that Rosell will close every time there is a step forward in managing Cartagena assistance," adding that "it is almost embarrassing to repeat that not Rosell anticipates closing due to the lies and again throws the opposition in this regard, but as much as I say, we will not close the Rosell, we will continue to improve assistance in Cartagena ".
Quiñonero added that "it is unfortunate that different organizations and opposition parties want to make any decision on assistance in Cartagena to scare citizens with apocalyptic messages about the future of health services in the area"
"The decision to close the emergency door is not taken because it is a whim of Health. Has not been taken so far, as has always been said, nor was in St. Lucia plans when opened," said the general secretary, who explained that "has been the development of health in the area that drives this decision."
Quiñonero explained that "ER assists in Rosell have fallen more than 60 percent in the past two years, with Santa Lucia Open".
In 2010, almost 140,000 emergency Rosell attended, and in 2012 served 39,000, while Santa Lucia attended that year 105,000 patients in the ER.
Rosell Hospital, officials said activity, currently serves an average of 80 people, mostly mild state, while Santa Lucia serves more than 200 emergency, when you have space and capacity, adding templates, to serve up twice.
"St. Lucia is ready to absorb the demand for care of the entire area, as he was born with the aim of becoming a reference hospital for the area, and we will not give it up. St. Lucia For a great referral hospital is essential that can serve the entire population, "he said.
On changes in the Rosell, General Secretary explained that "convert Rosell Hospital in a referral hospital for the care of patients with multiple day and Cartagena is to place at the forefront in hospital care."
It is the World Health Organization (WHO) who is offering higher quality indexes for hospital complexes that have units pluripatológicos patient care, family caregivers and chronic patients following their treatment at home.
According Quiñonero, "outpatient treatment, day hospital, is the future of chronic care, this is the future of the European Health is what we are developing at the Hospital del Rosell and exists in very few hospitals in Spain ".
Quiñonero stressed that "we can not get a bandage on his eyes to the improvement in patient care," adding that "the new indicators in this regard will not increase the number of beds or the hospital stay."
"It is absurd today, measuring the quality of care with the number of beds or earning capacity," remarked the secretary general, who explained that "the quality of care is measured today in the shortest recovery time, outpatient treatment , and care for carers, through the processes have improved markedly, and now in Cartagena have the option of combining these possibilities with both hospitals. "
The health official added that "St. Lucia has the best technology available in Spain, with a team of great professionals, and we want to continue to grow as large referral hospital in the area. This can not compete with Rosell, who must be a hospital that provides quality care for the 370,000 residents of the eight municipalities (including by reference to the inhabitants of the area of ​​the Mar Menor) who offer their services. "
Care data in Area II
Before opening the Hospital Santa Lucia, Area II had 532 beds (215 in the navy and 317 in the Rosell) to 370,000 people, as it was included in the population of the area which is now in the Area VIII Mar Menor .
Currently, the Health Area II has 650 beds in the Santa Lucia only to 262,000 inhabitants, and the possibility to use, in case it is necessary, other 345 beds at the Hospital del Rosell, so that the number of beds per thousand inhabitants is the largest in the region, as they are 3.7 beds.
"Therefore, the arguments based on the number of beds and the dismantling of Health make no sense and are absolutely false," he said Quiñonero.
The Secretary-General recalled "those who speak so cheerfully dismantling" that in these two years he has opened Lucia have prevented more than 30,000 trips to Murcia cancer treatments, which have been performed over 1000 operations in the new service Pediatric Surgery, who have performed more than 3,000 new diagnoses in St. Lucia PET TAC patients from areas VIII and II, and more than 3,000 interventional radiology procedures at Artis Zeego, pioneering technology in Spain.
