The situation of the public health system in Neuquén is going through complex moments in terms of human resources available by hospitals. Gone are the services with multiple doctors and nurses assigned on shift, which could be seen during the pandemic. Overcoming the covid crisis also implied lifting the veil and making the need for professionals visible. A long-standing problem. The Senillosa hospital is no exception and in the last few hours it informed its neighbors of the present they are facing in order to provide care.
In a post from Facebook, the Adolfo del Valle Hospital shared with the town that 7 doctors currently work throughout the institution. Those who must perform between 8 and 10 guards per month.
“The shifts are 1 professional pair, this means that in 1 day there are 2 doctors on duty for emergencies and 2 leaving for the same task”, describes the publication and adds that “the 3 of the remaining staff are distributed in priority tasks which we consider most vulnerable such as: bedridden patients, palliative (oncology patients), control of children and pregnant women.”
Also from the institution they described that currently medical prescriptions of up to 6 months of medicines are made for chronic patients without appointments, because “PAMI users do not have GPs in the locality”.
«Doctors are human, that is, we get sick, we have a family, we study, we have vacations and licenses. Which makes it unpredictable to calculate the absenteeism of each person, “says the statement.
The name of the hospital Senillosa gained national notoriety a few weeks ago when a false doctor wanted by the Federal Justice came to the institution “asking for work.”
The word of the medical director
The medical director of Adolfo del Valle Hospital, Andrea Vázquez, spoke with RÍO NEGRO and delved into details regarding the day-to-day life of the public medical center.
Consulted by the statement that circulated on social networks, He said that “it was a way of responding to the community” that constantly consults us due to the lack of doctors and that they cannot get appointments.
“Health personnel are human, we are going through a pandemic and the neighbor often does not remember that and sees the negative, “he explained.
Vázquez explained that despite the fact that the lack of professionals is recognized by the entire system and especially by the institution “In three years many things were achieved, especially equipment that was not there before and donations from churches and companies had to be appealed for.”
“We see that many want to politicize the situation, something that we do not admit because no candidate came here to learn about our reality. and so far only the municipality is present, “he said.
Finally, Vázquez stressed that “it is important that the residents know that although there are fewer shifts, all the activities of the hospital are carried out, here the professionals do not adhere to the strikes.”
