Satdjian assured that this weekend the director of Inspection, Carolina Rebagliatti, visited the hospital and found that “Call shifts were restored” and “the anesthetist who will be on call these days has already been established.”
“The episode is already behind us”affirmed Satdjian, who explained that the MSP asked ASSE a “long-term plan” to definitively resolve the conflict.
Satdjian ratified that “a new unit is going to be created” of anesthetists at Maciel. ASSE is working on the appointment of authorities and professionals for this area, MSP sources confirmed to The Observer.
Last Friday, the portfolio intimidated ASSE to “immediately” “restore the service” of the anesthetists in Macielafter an audit carried out the day before found that the lack of these officials in the center generated the delay of surgical care to 25 users per weekthe suspension of 100 clinical studies and the referral of several patients to other centers of health.
The lack of anesthetists is due to a conflict between these workers and who was the new director of anesthetists at Maciel, Pedro Hidalgo, informed the director of the Society of Anesthesiology of Uruguay, German Reta.
“Where there should be two anesthetists, there was one or there were even residents”, assured on Friday, January 27 to The Observer. This way of working led to four anesthetists will resign at the beginning of the monthwhich according to the Maciel surgeons, aggravated the situation.
Hidalgo resigned, and three of the four anesthetists requested a temporary suspension of their contract (the other had already processed his retirement).
