Delay in surgeries
Patients and relatives denounced the delay in the elective surgery program, a situation that puts the health of their relatives at risk.
“We don’t have anything to eat, it’s not fair, we all have rights to help us.
We cannot leave here because we have nothing else to do, if we had a way to take them to a clinic we would not be here experiencing these needs, “said one of those affected.
Patients in bed with their relatives protested inside the health center facilities, and pointed out that “if we have enough to eat, we don’t have to pay for a clinic.”
He assured that the treatment they are being given by the authorizations of the Central Hospital, “is not fair.”
He asked the media and the general public to “support them in order to get out of here with all these minors and grandparents.”
