Then he clarified: “In the South it is more decongested, but in the metropolitan area, the Uco Valley and the East, the system is increasingly stressed.”
More beds in the Central Hospital
The head of AMPROS exemplified: “The Central Hospital is once again opening beds for Covid and in intensive care units (ICUs). And the scheduled operations are suffering because not only the ICU beds are being occupied, but also the coronary and cardiac units. intensive care for other services”.
An extreme case occurred one day this week – Wednesday – at the Lagomaggiore Hospital where only one bed was available.
“The situation is getting more and more complicated,” Iturbe added. In Hospital El Carmen the panorama is very serious. From the transfer units they have reported to us that they do oxygen support outside the guards because they cannot enter the patients. And in the guards there are patients sitting, also with oxygen, waiting for a bed.
Another extreme fact that the leader recounted is that “in the South a doctor was infected and could not leave the guard because there was no one to replace her.”
“There are no beds for people from OSEP. The only one that receives this social work is the Private Hospital, which also serves PAMI and is therefore full. We ask that an audit be carried out there because there is a lack of personnel and there are no infrastructure. We have fellow internees who tell us about many shortcomings”.
Giménez, for his part, pointed out that “beds are not available and although the cases are less serious, being so many, the number of internees increases. In addition, we cannot have a true picture of the situation because there is a lack of testing. You have to think that the numbers that are reported have to be multiplied by six.”
the parity
The leaders of AMPROS assured that they have already transferred their concerns to the ministers Víctor Ibañez (Government) and Víctor Fayad (Treasury) so that the health sector is considered in a special way in the joint negotiations. “We want the discussion not to be the same as with other sectors. We have to have added value. We need recognition and that health be a State policy. They told us that it cannot be like that, but we are going to insist,” they said.
vaccination
Claudia Iturbe, as Aclisa’s referent also expressed it, lamented that “80% of the people who are in intensive care are not vaccinated or have an incomplete schedule. Although the percentage of the population that was vaccinated is high, being The numbers of infections were so high, the number of hospitalized patients increased. We insist on the importance of getting vaccinated.”
