Neglected, abandoned and cornered.” This is how health professionals in the Community of Madrid feel after a year and a half of pandemic on the front line of battle and seeing day after day the worsening of health care in the region under the Government of Isabel Díaz-Ayuso. In a very harsh letter addressed to the president, the unions represented on the Health Sector Board and UGT), denounce a situation of abandonment and “contempt” on the part of the Ministry of Health. Health. They report in the letter (which we attach below) the deterioration of primary care and the lack of responses to the continuous demands that the group has been making in recent months. “The intransigent position and the little or no action to improve this first line of care , with ridiculous offers and lack of willingness to negotiate. in the answer, to the point that although some consider a new legal framework necessary It is true that based on different regulations or reforms such as the law on the state of alarm, exception and siege, however, there are many others who consider that the current legislation is adequate and that only the application of its precepts would be sufficient.
The part of the Ministry of Health; the constant refusal to increase structural staff in hospitals; the lack of human resources in centers such as the “Isabel Zendal Hospital” ; the situation in which the Hospital Emergency Units live; and a long etcetera, pushes us to send you this letter,” they point out. The unions demand greater involvement from Ayuso in public health for its "improvement Australia Phone Number and dignity" , starting with a comprehensive plan for primary care , because "if the base of the pyramid collapses - they warn -, the consequences are unpredictable for the health of the citizens.” To do this, they ask for an increase in the budget to 7.2% of GDP and 25% for primary care , as well as the renewal of health infrastructure. Regarding their labor demands, they demand an increase in workforce that implies the renewal of all covid contracts (about 11,000 contracts) beyond December of this year. Likewise, they demand that the 2017 Professional Career agreement be fulfilled and the call for public job offers still pending resolution for 4 years. “After 18 months of pandemic and exhausting overexertion , the professionals of the Madrid Health Service (SERMAS) deserve respect, optimal working conditions and recovery of their labor rights,” they emphasize.
Still pending regulatory development, in particular with respect to the general public health law of 2011 or the health cohesion law in relation to coordinated actions, the latter positions with which I agreed until now, before the Court Constitutional Court has thrown everything to the ground. This Manichean and contradictory situation has been the norm throughout the entire pandemic, both in the face of outbreaks and waves and in the intermediate phases of control, and not only in terms of the legal framework. Thus, from the first wave and in the following ones until the most recent fifth, some have repeated ad nauseum that the inability to stop community transmission was due, among other causes, to the shortcomings of the law declaring the state of alarm, in his opinion was excessively generic and restrictive, and therefore the non-existence of a pandemic law that contemplated all the cases of the pandemic.
