The conflict of the self called health
not so easy to analyze whether the arrest of the self called health is fair or unfair, what is clear is that if Tucuman need access to public health, and already has long-standing conflict. It is the State that should solve it, and so total, so it does not happen again.
As its name indicated, the "autoconvocados" not represent a union unionization, so that the government lacks the possibility to apply for " compulsory conciliation." The current crackdown occur unevenly, but in a system that normally provides services partially in very short times, the conflict is felt. Indeed, apart from the guards and scheduled surgeries, usually only open from 8 to 12, and in a few clinics also 14 to 18. Patients should take a turn with 15 or 20 days notice or spend the night for treatment the next morning.
It was very illustrative of the situation, a letter from Mrs. Maria Villafañe published by the newspaper La Gaceta on Saturday 26 February where his mother reports that as many members of the Teacher, no medicine for 40 days because it fails Padilla duty at the hospital for the doctor designee will make the recipe. Notes
the reader of The Gazette: "that on three occasions I went up there and 24 hours standing in line also spent the night at the hospital door to get shift, because only five or 10 numbers are" clear that this "depends on the desire of the doctor," and continues Ms. Villafañe: "there are people with disabilities who spend two days in line to get your turn, if they fail the only solution is to pay $ 150 for the doctor to take care of them in their own offices " (1).
What use to recondition buildings or inaugurate new industries if health system is the culprit?. A prudent government should realize that instead of continuing on the same path, shown effectively blocked, you should take next. That is, completely rethink the public health services in the province and provide a new format, with dedicated professionals "full time" or "part time", as the case and equipped with everything you need to proper attention. But none of this is done, you try to continue on the same line, no intelligent alternatives to modify the system root.
is in this scenario where there is conflict of autoconvocados. The protest is exacerbating the problems themselves station, such as bronchial, especially in children. According to La Gaceta, Olga Nuñez sat at seven o'clock in front of the office of Paediatrics Avellaneda. In the afternoon we went there with her baby, suffering from bronchiolitis, "We say the hospital is crowded but there is one attending physician and people are already lining up for the afternoon" , told the reporter of the newspaper . And guard the health center patient died secondary coronary Avellaneda Hospital. His family blamed his death, the slow procedure of admission and not go immediately to the intensive care unit (2).
As usual, the poor, those whose status must use the state health services, the injured. Why we insist, is the government that must resolve a conflict that has peremptorily more than three years of rough, with peaks of tension and relaxation, as any conflict, but ultimately must be resolved by the Government is solely responsible for doing .
