Faced with the prospect of having health centers deserted doctors during the Summer VacationJulián Ezquerra asks, both Ministry of Health like the Autonomous Communities, take “their cards on the matter”, and stop “passing the buck to each other”, taking into account the capacity for action of each one when it comes to solving the shortage of professionals.
For the expert, there would not be a “single culprit” in this matter since, while Health has the power to increase the number of MIR places and the offer for study medicinethe autonomous communities are responsible for setting the remuneration of physicians who work in their territories, generating a heterogeneous scenario in terms of wages it means.
“Agile” approval of non-EU doctors
Therefore, in this new episode of his podcast ‘From my watchtower’, Ezquerra calls for solutions from both sides that help build loyalty among doctors, especially at healthcare levels such as Primary Care, where “systemic abuse” has led to many new physicians preferring to remain in the hospital once they finish their residency. In no case, however, should they be the MIR last year those who assume the workload of family doctors and pediatricians on vacation in order to correct the lack of professionalsas the doctor has warned.
The ideal, in his opinion, would be to devise a great Plan for Health, as he has maintained on some occasions, that would allow not only to retain the medical talent in it National system of health but to allow those doctors who emigrated abroad in search of Better work conditions. Likewise, it calls for greater agility in the achievement of projects that help compensate for the destructuring of staff during the summer, such as the approval of non-EU doctors.
