Workers’ response to “false information expressed by the government”
The workers of the National Hospital “Lic. Laura Bonaparte” issued a statement this Saturday in response to what they described as false information expressed by the government and disseminated by the official media.
The Ministry of Health stated yesterday that “the health establishment receives a budget of 17 billion pesos annually and has a very low occupancy. With an average annual hospitalization of 19 patients per day, the indicators of the amount of care and consultations are very low for what would be expected from a hospital with general services, considering the building dimensions and the amount of human resources assigned.
In response, the workers reported that so far this year they have assisted more than 25,000 people and more than 98,000 consultations, only in healthcare services. In addition, there were more than 15,000 consultations in the Territorial Approach devices.
