EKEA announced that it “cannot perform the Covid-19 Molecular Test.” This fact confirms the lack of a government plan for the pandemic.
At a time when there is a significant spread of the Covid-19 disease in Greece, with all that this implies for public health, the most important test center for the coronavirus expresses its inability to continue with the controls.
Specifically, the National Blood Donation Center (EKEA) reported since yesterday (Tuesday, September 1) that due to the “reckless user of the exams, the limit of the possibility of supplying reagents was exceeded.” Therefore, the EKEA “I can not to perform the Covid-19 Molecular Test “.
This development is the long-awaited result lack of strategy and plan on behalf of the government, to curb the momentum of the deadly disease in our country.
It is observed that the August emerged as the worst month so far in the course of the Covid-19 disease in our country. Characteristic is the fact that in one month the confirmed cases more than doubled, presenting a great diffusion in urban centers, as well as a wide distribution throughout the country. Also, during the same period, 60 people exhaled the deadly virus.
At this time, therefore, there is an immediate and urgent need to carry out as many tests as possible in the general population, however the reality is far from doing so.
Blonde: τει disability seriously damages public health
In a statement, Andreas Xanthos, SYRIZA’s Head of Health, points out that the largest public laboratory that performs reliable and low-cost molecular tests for COVID-19, officially declares its inability to fulfill its function, while emphasizing that its management The EKEA and the Ministry of Health cannot guarantee the supply of reagents at the peak of the pandemic in the country.
The declaration of Xanthos
… for the suspension of diagnostic tests by EKEA
At a time when the pandemic is on the rise and the need for diagnostic tests in the country is increasing daily, the National Blood Donation Center (EKEA), the largest public laboratory that performs reliable and low-cost molecular tests for the covid-19, officially declares its inability to fulfill its function. And indeed with the outrageous justification that there was “reckless use of exams”!
That is, the government-appointed president of EKEA tells us that samples sent by public hospitals and EODY crews are unnecessary and done for no reason! It is clear that the EKEA Administration and the Ministry of Health cannot guarantee the supply of reagents at the height of the pandemic in the country and cannot meet the requirements of improved epidemiological surveillance through expanded tests to control the spread of the viruses in the community.
But this inability … seriously damages Public Health.
Complaint from an association of hospital doctors
The Association of Hospital Doctors of Piraeus of Athens (EINAP) spoke on the matter whining including that hospital laboratories they moan due to lack of personnel and equipment.
The Union emphasizes that it is shame be characterized as irrational use h need for massive coronavirus testing, notes that pending responds to hundreds of tests in the country’s hospitals and emphasizes that “now is the time to requisition of private centers “.
In any case, EINAP asks immediate help hospitals, but also for Free Trial for all health and the population.
The announcement – EINAP complaint
The administration of the National Blood Donation Center issued an order to the Health Regions (1/9) not to send samples to the EKEA for coronary testing, because the center “cannot carry out molecular control of the structures of the Health Regions , because due to reckless use of EKEA exceeded the limit of the possibility of supplying reagents “. The need for massive testing is characterized by irrational use. It’s a shame! At the same time, in most hospitals in the basin, but also at the national level, there are hundreds of pending responses! The samples remain in the Hospitals. Typically, the largest referral hospitals are pending responses to the Annunciation of 160 samples and to Sotiria 100 samples. These are samples taken in the previous two days and also concern patients who are awaiting surgery. Hospital capacity is limited and cannot cover even general duty. The limits of human endurance have been exhausted! Hospital laboratories groan for lack of personnel and equipment!
Where will the tests take place?
In well-paid chains of diagnostic centers?
Won’t they be done at all?
NOW IS THE TIME TO ESTABLISH PRIVATE CENTERS!
Words and promises to finish. Crude confession to the people is a crime.
• Now PFY development
• Now strengthening the EKEA
• Now strengthening hospitals
• Free trial for all health professionals and the population.
When do you expect to do it? When does the pandemic start again? Have you made a forecast for the next few months?
