More than 3,000 proposals prepared by social movements in the health sector throughout the country received this Friday the national coordinator of the Future Movement, Héctor Rodríguez, in the context of the Congress of the Historical Block, convened by President Nicolás Maduro.
During a meeting in the Salvador Allende auditorium, of the Latin American School of Medicine, in Caracas, Rodríguez emphasized that among the proposals, improvements in the quality of life of health personnel, the infrastructure – both of the health system and of the training of doctors and all staff -, as well as the issue of supplies, outlined a press release.
Preventive health model
The social movements raised their considerations on the concept of the preventive health model and all issues that have to do with direction, always focused on the 7 Transformations and the debate of the 5 Generations.
“You highlight the issues of greatest interest and that is important because to the extent that all social movements and all sectors permanently debate, we will be able to define new mechanisms of action and provide solutions,” said Rodríguez.
In this sense, he called on doctors and all health personnel to be aware of the historical moment that the country is experiencing, of the political conflicts, the blockade, the coercive measures, and to serve citizens from a social and not an economic vision. .
“There are those who care more about money than a person dying at the doors of a health center because they do not have the means to pay for care,” said Héctor Rodríguez in reference to the capitalist economic model.
In his opinion, there are sectors that, although politically opposed to the Government, agree with free access to health.
“We must be aware of the conflict that we had to live through (…) What is more important to you, money or people’s lives? “Everyone has to ask themselves that question at least once in their lives and that will determine our behavior,” he expressed.
Rodríguez called to strengthen the training of comprehensive community doctors, and to reactivate the dialogue about the human values of doctors. “For many, health is a business, that is why dialogue with society is so important,” he warned.
