Monumental anger of the group of nurses in Madrid who accuse the regional government of “underestimating” their work and professionalism. “There is no money to save the primary but there is money to give it to private companies ,” they criticize from SATSE Madrid. The announcement by the president of the Community of Madrid, Isabel Díaz Ayuso, that private companies, such as Acciona, El Corte Inglés or Banco Santander , will begin to give Covid vaccines to the citizens of Madrid starting next July 7 , has greatly angered the nursing community. “Is Madrid's public healthcare so little valued by the regional government?” “Do you consider that the 25,000 Sermas nurses are not capable of immunizing the people of Madrid?” These are the questions asked by.
The SATSE union, which accuses Díaz-Ayuso of “belittling” the group in its efforts to end up closing primary care centers in Madrid. "We have been demanding a Plan to save health centers for years and the Australia Phone Number president's response is a three-year project, with 73 million euros, clearly insufficient to solve the serious problems that affect health centers , especially due to the lack of nurses, specialist nurses and physiotherapists,” they explain from SATSE Madrid. The Nursing Union considers that at least 2,000 more nurses are necessary to cover the needs of the health centers, 185 midwives and 200 physiotherapists, and the Ministry announces the hiring of 264 nurses in three years. “It is a joke and an outrage to put the resources of all Madrid residents in the hands of private companies that only seek to distribute profits among their shareholders.
Instead of using the money to rescue a public good that, in addition, is the gateway to the public health system, Primary Care ,” they say. As the president has detailed, people who work in these companies can be vaccinated through the self-appointment system, “but also any citizen who wishes to do so.” Each company will inoculate at least vaccines each day, with the goal of reaching 25,000-30,000 more doses each week. “It is true that these companies may have many stores and offices but clearly there are more health centers, which are closer to citizens and which could serve, if used correctly, to administer not vaccines a week but many more. It is only necessary to invest in health and that is something that the president does not seem to want to do,” they say from SATSE. For the union, "the measure ignores a reality and that is none other than that the Community of Madrid has abandoned primary care , with unmotivated professionals, without sufficient resources or staff and that is being discredited daily by those responsible for the Community of Madrid" . From SATSE Madrid they wonder if the 25,000 nurses who work for Sermas are not enough to immunize the Madrid population.
