At the time when the Kozani PE is "boiling" from cases:
– the hospital suffocates and the health and all the staff fights against the pandemic, exhausted, for over a year.
-we got to the point where the beds were full, to treat patients in other hospitals.
-regular clinics have shrunk, surgeries( against 80%) & clinics and patients with serious problems have virtually no access to the Hospital.
-Health Centers have lost their very important role in dealing with a large number of patients, because the government is treating GPs to "close holes" in hospitals in any department that needs medical staff, constantly moving them due to the understaffing of hospitals.
-in the IT, doctors, nurses and support staff a year now, try to cope with the rapid increase in Covid-19 patients suffering from staff shortages.
-at the Pathology Clinic, Doctors and nurses struggle to keep patients and staff upright.
-the employees in the MAF that has been transformed in the face of the increased needs into ICUs, they also give fight.
– surgery and other clinics manage patients with other serious conditions.
Instead of this explosive situation, the government should pass on the demand for unconditional beds here and now, clinics, ICU beds, equipping laboratories and private care staff to join the state plan to address both the pandemic and other health problems, the government and the 3the RALs are closing clinics, such as obstetrics followed by psychiatry ( the only one in Western Macedonia), for their conversion into Covid clinics, that is, it puts new barriers to access to the public health system and paves the way for the private sector.
The health workers, all the staff we gave the battle to get the people out we continue the fight for the life and health of the people!
We demand here and now, before we lose other fellow human beings, the government to take effective action:
-Involvement of the private health sector and inclusion of individuals in the pandemic response plan, to be able to provide additional infrastructure, doctors, nurses, beds for the comprehensive treatment of the pandemic and other morbidity.
-Strengthening the health staff in Hospitals, K.Y., EKAB and EODY.
-Epidemiological surveillance, free massive and repetitive tests focusing on large workplaces.
-Accelerate vaccinations with safe vaccines.
