NOW MURCIA denounces the situation since last Monday Cabezo de Torres, date from which 1,100 children of the town are without pediatric care.

The head of the municipal group in the hamlet, Dani Megías, explains that "the health center of Cabezo de Torres has three pediatricians, each with a quota of 1,100 patients, but since Monday we have only one of the pediatricians , Because one is on vacation and another has taken medical leave. "

To Cabezo, has been left unattended, which is an inadmissible situation. "

The spokeswoman of Now Murcia, Alicia Morales, asks that the City of Murcia and the Autonomous Community intervene to solve this situation, "derived from the shortage of pediatricians throughout the Region, which causes that there are no pediatricians available to cover the casualties that are Are producing, as has happened in this case. "
