Along these lines, to explain the serious crisis that health workers are going through at the La Plata hospital, Fernández said that “a professional entering the career, with 36 hours, charges 210,000 pocket pesos, but if you cross the highway, the salary It’s double. So people leave us…”.

“We are short-staffed and we give our all, but for example, of the 350 people working there in the glory days, today we have 200. This shrinking and the flight of specialists lowers the complexity“Added the head of the local medical clinic service.

The health system facing future crises

On the other hand, in relation to the number of reported cases of bronchiolitis in minors in these weeks, Fernández specified that “For us, bronchiolitis at this time of year is not new, although respiratory diseases in a context like the one I am telling you about, gives it a serious framework.”

Likewise, the professional insisted that the situation keeps the workers “distressed and worried” and concluded: “This is the house of a lifetime, where the teachers trained us. If the people who are trained are a qualified resource and when the time comes they do not take charge, we cannot be anyone’s teacher.”
