The Sanidad Excelente Plataforma, a vocal group dedicated to representing the voice of the patients, is warning that despite the disaster last year in Torrevieja hospital, the management have still not come up with a plan to deal with the influx of patients this summer.
“We are not aware of the existence of the necessary reinforcements that will be required in the summer of 2023 a few weeks after its start at the Torrevieja hospital. We fear the worst disasters in medical care in the south of the province of Alicante. We do not understand that there are political officials picking up their belongings in cardboard boxes at the hospital, saying goodbye, without guaranteeing the minimum health care in health Department 22”, the group says in a statement.
The group represents patients covered by the Torrevieja hospital, known as Department 22, which covers the municipalities of Formentera del Segura, Guardamar, Orihuela Costa, Pilar de la Horadada, Los Montesinos, San Miguel de Salinas, Rojales, San Fulgencio and Torrevieja.
“It is absolutely inconsequential for us what the electoral result of May 28, 2023, was; It is absolutely indifferent to us which combination gives rise to a composition of a government in the Generalitat Valenciana. What we demand is that the current managers exercise their function and manage to guarantee medical and health care in the Torrevieja Health Department 22 a few days before the start of the summer season that will undoubtedly cause population increases that in some places will multiply by two and by three”.
The President of Sanidad Excelente, Mamen Mateo, wishes to express that: “We warned you with more than enough time. It is not possible without the necessary reinforcements to maintain a minimum of medical care in our area. Otherwise, we will burn the few professionals we have and also many human lives will be put at risk unnecessarily. The damage may be irreparable. We do not understand transition periods in the management of public services and even less in health services. We want the reinforcement of professionals that without them will cause us to affirm that the Valencian public health system in the south of Alicante will go from being inefficient to non-existent”.
