After controversies, the National Day of Awareness for Early Care in the field of covid-19, scheduled for next Saturday (03/10), by the Minister of Health, Eduardo Pazuello, went through changes in the format even before to be done. . The new orientation of the manager is not to talk about drugs against the new coronavirus.
Previously, an explanation of early treatment was provided with the use of the so-called covid-19 kit, which includes drugs such as chloroquine, ivermectin, azithromycin, zinc, AA, and ibuprofen. The controversy surrounding the issue led to the decision to veto the disclosure of the drugs.
Sources heard by post office They say that the Ministry of Health does not want the indication of the early use of drugs, such as chloroquine, in case of a positive diagnosis of covid-19, to be the orientation of the portfolio, but of the doctors. The recommendation will apply to this campaign, but also in general.
However, even with Pazuello’s veto, a guideline published on May 20 by the ministry itself guides the early pharmacological treatment of patients diagnosed with covid-19, prepared with chloroquine and hydroxychloroquine, within the scope of the Unified Health System ( THEIR). . The document provides guidance for prescribing the two medications associated with azithromycin to adult patients.
In the midst of the controversy provoked last week, the ministry denied, by means of a note, the intention to transfer the drugs on D-day. “It should be noted that the actions do not contemplate the distribution of drugs by any body involved in the initiative. The transfer of supplies, medicines, equipment and financial resources from the portfolio is made possible at the formal request of the states and municipalities, according to criteria established in specific ordinances ”, he indicated.
Other changes
In addition, other changes were planned for the event. The campaign, which was to be carried out in the Basic Health Units (UBS), will now be carried out in videoconference format. According to sources, the fact is not mentioned in the corridors of the ministry.
The objective of the “National Day of Awareness for Early Care”, according to the folder, is to guarantee the right and access of the population to early treatment and prevent the worsening of the disease, reducing complications, hospitalizations and deaths.
