From the lack of pediatricians at the Cipolletti hospital, the Multisectorial gave intervention to Justice to intercede in the crisis. He appeal for protection presented is based on concern about the current state of the Pediatric service, which puts the health care of children and adolescents in the area from Catriel to Fernández Oro at risk.
From the guild ASSPUR They explained that “It is the only center with guards and professionals prepared to care for pediatric patients in the entire area.”. The migration of pediatric doctors to neighboring provinces and private sectors is due to poor working and salary conditions and has caused an unprecedented diaspora.”
They indicated that “in pediatrics we had only one specialist on each shift, to care for 12 patients hospitalized in 6 rooms, and the same professional must go on duty to attend to all emergencies that come in from the afternoon shift, night shift, and part of the shift. in the morning. This sector has suffered the loss of more than 6 pediatricians who have resigned and today it has collaborators, such as retired pediatricians who do not belong to the service and do not do hospitalization. General practitioners also collaborate. And these days we are witnessing the resignation of another pediatrician.”
“We demand the incorporation of the missing pediatric personnel, and we hold the government of Río Negro responsible for the bad policies it is carrying out in public health, due to the lack of inputs, the drip deliveries that only patch the problem. In addition, the lack of medication in general, and lack of personnel,” they concluded.
