A true viacrusis is what teachers in the Atlantic are experiencing, those who go to the authorized points to receive their medications, but do not receive them. They only tell them that their orders are expired and that they must update them.
During this process, the teachers go to the IPS Consalud, a provider entity to care for those affiliated with the Teaching, and that is where the problem begins, since many do not yet appear in the system or must wait for an appointment with the general practitioner. so that this doctor is the one who formulates the new order and then asks for authorization.
“I arrived at LogiFarma today and they did not give me the medication, now they sent me to Consalud. I went to the Fiduprevisora
and they didn’t solve anything for me. I am a high-risk patient, I suffer from hypertension, diabetes and heart disease. I don’t know what to do, or where to go.”revealed one of the teachers who arrived at one of the headquarters of this pharmacy, located north of Barranquilla.
But upon arriving at Consalud, the environment is much more complex, as teachers complain about the poor provision of the service. and they assure that the same Government and the Teachers’ Union made a mistake, “not taking into account the voice of the teachers, to choose a competent provider.”
“Those who fought were the Government and the union, they should have done a survey to find out our opinion and they didn’t do it, and here we are without medications,” said the user.
With diagnoses of blood pressure, diabetes and even depression, teachers from Atlántico
They are waiting to be called to be attended to, as it is the only response they receive from the operators.
“My wife had some physical therapy, they canceled it and now they just tell us, after 2:00 in the afternoon, we call them and We define where they will be cared for,” said the husband of one of the affected teachers.
Given this situation, the director of the IPS Consalud has assured that the entity has been working to improve service to Atlantic teachers. For example, he gave another announcement, they will open a new headquarters for specialized medicine.
“We ask, again, users to be patient, we are working to improve the service, but it is a transition process. Next week we will have a new specialized care headquarters for teachers, This would be the third provided for teachers’ members,” concluded Madeline Molina, manager of Consalud in Barranquilla.
The viacrusis of teachers will continue until the implementation of the new health system special for them is strengthened and provides all the necessary capabilities to meet the needs of this population.
