In December 2009, from Union Progreso y Democracia (UPyD) requiring the continuity of current Rosell as a second hospital in the city, suspecting what was only intended to Health, to move Rosell Hospital de Santa Lucia and the Navy to Rosell as denounce it.
Our suspicion is confirmed, following statements by the current manager of SMS, the newspaper La Verdad de Cartagena dated 24/01/1910, which states:
"Having two full-service hospitals is not feasible for cost, population and staff."
"The difference with the neighbors and the opposition, due to a linguistic debate."
Speaking to a media, the Health Minister Maria de los Ángeles Palacios, confirmed that the area II (Cartagena, Mazarron, Fuente Alamo and La Union) would establish a population of 276,000 inhabitants.
This statement makes it clear that she believes that residents of La Manga del Mar Menor and surrounding areas, drawing an inappropriate line, will return to the coast to go to the Hospital del Mar Menor, and do not continue directly to Cartagena (shorter distance and where hospital that has always cared for them and also has better performance)
On the other hand, if you look at the portfolio of services at the Hospital del Mar Menor, one can see that this hospital has no units, oncology, radiation therapy, allergy, hemodynamics, PET-CT and other diagnostic tests, nephrology, plastic surgery, vascular etc.
etc., so these patients should be made by hospitals in Cartagena.
Add to this, services such as Gastroenterology, Geriatrics, Pulmonology, Neurology etc.
Have no emergency care, if a patient at the new hospital in San Javier bleeds for late at night or a weekend will be sent directly to Cartagena.
In light of the foregoing and in summer, with the Mar Menor packed with visitors and people playing golf, it seems that the estimates and projections of population health, have fallen short.
Under the expertise of health professionals who are active in our party as well as family members admitted to the Naval Hospital What we can say to Mr Allegue, a geriatric anachronistic, where the lack of personnel and infrastructure make it obsolete for XXI Century
We fear that he will be a geriatric Rosell, as is currently the Naval Hospital, without means, appendix Hospital Santa Lucia if you stick to the current plan.
Have 2 operating hospitals is necessary.
This request does not in any way that the Rosell has all services, or that all are duplicates with respect to the new hospital.
But that has basic services (could be a hospital group II as the new hospital del Mar Menor) and the New Hospital of Cartagena group III.
The population to keep the two hospitals, is justified.
In terms of cost and staff is a chapter that should take an administration that governs this community for many years.
In any case, no one can accuse others of their lack of foresight to provide health Murcia, Cartagena in general and in particular the means
For years, it has been required by the society of Cartagena, the initiation of the Navy as a second hospital cash, hiring nurses and doctors has been ignored, submitting to poor sanitation.
You can not argue now staffing shortages, as some have left even SMS junk contracts offered.
In terms of cost, we left for a chapter, posterior, which we would analyze objective facts, travel, etc. platforms created.
From UPyD Rosell demand maintenance, such as a hospital operating independently and as well as a shift in health policy of this Commonwealth, which leads us to believe that its purpose seems to be directed more to outsource to private health care processes that make the maximum benefit to the public.
From our political, tend their hands, all those groups, associations, movements, etc, who wish to join the proposed health care WORTHY.
