Davosan announces the closure of the hemodialysis service due to lack of payment from the Government and patients set up a vigil

Patients with kidney problems are mobilized Following the announcement of the closure of the hemodialysis service at the Davosan center, which will no longer serveSince September 30, they have been suffocated by the lack of payments from the national government, which owes them nearly Bs 2,400,000.

The affected patients fear being left without care, so they have set up a vigil outside the institution, where they protest to demand that the Government comply with the payment and guarantee their treatments. They indicate that they are doing the steps to ensure that the agreement is not dissolved.

“We will take steps to make the payment. There is no reason for the center to close.”They can’t say that the money isn’t enough. “We will continue to do our dialysis at this center and if they have to throw us out, let them do so,” said one of those affected.

For her part, the director of Davosan, Dora Luz de Dávila, said that it is unsustainable to maintain the service, because they have provided the service without receiving any paymentwhich means that salaries cannot be covered, much less the payment for supplies to carry out this treatment.

“We will always support them, but we do not want problems, not even with the Government.”because we don’t want to fight with anyone“said Dora Luz, indicating that in October they will celebrate 55 years of providing assistance in different services.
