After meeting with the Minister of the Interior, Gonzalo Blumel, the president of the Medical College, Izkia Siches, asked that the Government attend to the different recommendations that have been delivered through the Covid social table.
He recalled that from the first moment it was noticed that there is mistrust on the part of the population towards the government and institutions, which made it necessary to effect a change in governance when facing the pandemic.
“The advisory committee has also implemented a series of recommendations that have not been accepted or implemented by the Ministry of Health, and at least as a College we expect that to happen,” said the union leader, adding that “the collaborative way, the unity that we have been asked by the Government, our participation in that social table is in the best spirit, but we cannot continue speaking to a wall, we need to have a more direct dialogue ”.
He questioned that “the participation of the health sector in the Social Roundtable has been very poor, actually” and announced that a meeting of the Social Roundtable in La Moneda is scheduled for this Friday, an instance in which he hopes to receive a favorable response.
“I hope that today the President of the Republic takes the lead in this pandemic and gathers all the collaboration that so many entities have offered him so many times, because all citizens are facing this challenge. I said it the first time, if the government does badly it will go badly for all of us, and unfortunately I think that the evaluation today is negative and we need to amend this direction, “said the president of Colmed.
Likewise, he questioned that the advisory committee has made a series of recommendations that have not been implemented, particularly regarding the operation of the Seremi de Salud of the Metropolitan region, “which weakens the strongest part of the strategy, which is to be able to make a effective follow-up of cases and contacts ”.
“Today we have seen things as crazy as limiting medical licenses for suspected cases in 4 days when the results of these exams in the country are taking longer than that. I do not know in which country the government authorities seem to be unaware of something that we have repeatedly presented, as well as support for health teams, “he said.
For example, he indicated, the care of the sons and daughters of health personnel who are fighting the pandemic and, therefore, exposed to the constant danger of becoming infected, has not yet been resolved.
Mega quarantine on MRI
Regarding the quarantine applied in Greater Santiago, Siches said that “these two weeks are going to allow us to reduce viral circulation, we need all citizens to stay at home, particularly in the Metropolitan region, not go for anything world to a second home because many of us are asymptomatic and may be infecting other people. “
“The reality is that the impact of this quarantine is not going to stop a kind of movement and an increase in cases for at least two more weeks, if we manage to fulfill this much-needed confinement with cavality,” he said, insisting that “we need the understanding of the citizens, but not to blame them ”.
