The neighbors of Patiño have gathered today Friday at 12 noon before the Ministry of Health to denounce the lack of health care in Patiño, and other districts, to which the Murcia Health Service (SMS) is gradually leaving without The quality care they need.
Last July, the Pediatric Department of Patiño's Office was left unattended, leaving almost 700 children without health care.
Children of Patiño who need an appointment with Pediatrics will have to go to the Sur Sur Office.
The Murcia Health Service (SMS) justified this decision in the excess quota of health cards of the two pediatricians in Ronda Sur and the small number of child patients in Patiño.
The defense of a public health is essential in these situations, and it is an obligation of the Ministry of Health the correct management of the municipal offices of the districts of the municipality of Murcia.
The neighbors of Patiño have a bus that goes to Ronda Sur, but "it passes every half hour and is very unpunctual; to take the children to the pediatrician we need between an hour and a half and two hours and it is lost almost all morning ".
In addition, most of the time "it is the grandparents who are responsible for doing so and having to move outside Patiño complicates their management," the neighbors tell us.
On January 29, a motion was passed unanimously at the Municipal Board of Patiño that demands the return of his pediatrician, who have sent the Minister of Health, Manuel Villegas.
Ginés Ruiz, Councilor of Podemos-Equo in the City of Murcia, claims "a real commitment to public health and that the City of Murcia protect the Health Services and ensure the interests of the neighbors of the districts. A commitment that cover the needs of the children of Patiño and do not leave them unprotected. "
This situation is an autonomous competence, but it is the obligation of the City Council of Murcia to protect the Health Services and ensure the interests of the neighbors and neighbors, also those of the districts of the municipality of Murcia.
The Ballesta government team tears its clothes when it comes to claiming the state government (since it is of another political color) but looks the other way, impassive, while seeing that its regional government partners deprive the neighbors of Murcia of the most elementary rights.
"Today is Patiño, but there have been more cuts, and the hospitals Morales Meseguer and Reina Sofía remain without pediatric emergencies, and nobody reacts."
