The private health sector is going through a very delicate economic-financial situation throughout the country, and the clinics and sanatoriums of San Juan are no exception. Yesterday, the entire leadership of these companies met to put the problem on the table and look for resources to sustain themselves in the midst of the crisis that affects them.
And they already took a measure: request the Provincial Social Work that increases the amounts for benefits. Businessmen go for the OSP because it is the one that has around 150 thousand members, being one of the main clients.
Although they recognize that it is the social work “that pays the best,” they understand that the values “are not enough.” In this sense, Juan Carlos Bordes, president of the San Juan Medical Collegegave details of what the meeting was like and the critical situation they face.
“We have a minister of health, an auditor from the Obra Social Provincia who listens to us permanently. Strategies are being put together to get ahead of this, which happens that today private institutions unfortunately do not have the possibility of providing support in the medium or long term. We need to have some type of immediate response to be able to survive and accompany all the projects that the minister has, which are excellent, together with the social work, but we do not have the possibility of more time,” Bordes said on Radio Sarmiento.
The doctor acknowledged that in the private health sector of San Juan there have already been about 50 layoffs as a result of the critical situation of the clinics and sanatoriums. Regarding why they point to the OSP to seek resources, Bordes added that “it is what means 50-60% of the income of all clinics, they are not paying what they really should be paying for an issue, whether it is outdated, or it is poorly managed. previously. The auditor said that he had a deficit of $1.5 billion, and we understand it and accompany him. The issue is that we cannot accompany him by continuing, that is, with more dismissal.”
