Zulma López/ DLA.- The president of the Táchira State College of Physicians, Gustavo Uribe, rejected the measure ordered by the director of the San Cristóbal Central Hospital to prevent students from continuing to receive classes in the health center auditoriumwith the argument that maintenance work is carried out to later only give it protocol use.
This Monday, undergraduate and postgraduate medicine students from at least three Táchira universities were waiting outside the Hospital for the local authorities to give them an answer about this measure that has kept them without academic activities for five days. The president of the College of Physicians came to the place to reject this situation and to demand that the right to education and health be respected and that article 22 of the Collective Bargaining be respected.
Uribe recalled that the Collective Contracting that has been in force since 2002, in its clause 22 says that the Venezuelan State must have suitable areas for the proper practice of medicine, “we are waiting for the director to reflect, he continues to insist that this audience is For protocol acts, the objective is for the doctors to meet to discuss clinical cases and everything that happens to us, this is our second home, which is the hospital,” he said.
Uribe, who is also part of the traumatology team at the Central Hospital of San Cristóbal, called on the president of Corposalud, Angel Chacón because Collective Contracting is being violated.
For the president of the College of Physicians, the measure may have an economic objective, “Because if they see it for protocol acts, it is because they are going to charge; The day has 24 hours to use that auditorium, we use it in the morning, there is the evening and the night, make it nice for us. What it says for protocol acts, it’s okay to use it, you are within your rights, but we also have the right to use it, ”he specified.
Students call to address priorities
Luis Pastrán, president of the Medical Student Center, was this Monday with his colleagues waiting for the response from the Central Hospital of San Cristóbal. He asked the hospital and state health authorities to attend to the priorities that exist in the entity’s main care center.
He said that the remodeling of the auditorium can go into the background and recalled that before it was supported through contributions from the medical society.
He said that medical students also voluntarily try to address certain deficiencies in the Central Hospital of San Cristóbal. Pastrán reported that the students have also helped to keep the rest areas for students and doctors in good condition.
“We have put bunk beds, lighting, air conditioning, not only in the resting places, but also in the corridors, doors, resting places for residents, offices, printers, also in the ULA, self-management has become the day-to-day of the students, we understand that the situation of the country and of the university is not the best and the hospital is a university hospital”, he stated.
The student clarified that although academic activities are paralyzed, they will not stop attending the hospital, nor will they stop continuing the practice of medicine.
