One after another, the Intensive Care Units in Northern Greece are filling up, while with an ultimatum the Ministry of Health to the private clinics of Thessaloniki asks to allocate 200 beds for the treatment of patients with covid-19, but so far not there has been a response.
The pertinent document of the Secretary General of Health Services of the Panhellenic Association of Private Clinics and the Association of Greek Clinics, establishes that written invitations have been sent, but they have also been made orally for the voluntary provision of beds, within the Thessaloniki regional unit, due to the emergency conditions prevailing since the spread of Covid-19 and its members have refused.
News on the subject is expected, since the ultimatum of response until 9 o’clock tonight has expired and according to their representatives. Panhellenic Association of Private Clinics, Clinic owners refuse to treat patients on the grounds that there is a risk of spreading the virus and that clinic staff have no experience treating COVID-19 patients. The next step is to order the beds. On their website, they state: “In a letter, the Secretary General of the Ministry of Health requests the Thessaloniki Clinics the voluntary availability of 200 nursing beds for the treatment of patients with COVID 19. His document was sent by email and it must be answered before 20.00 tonight, otherwise they will be forced to do so. “
In an advertisement for SYRIZA – Progressive Alliance, states: “From the outset, SYRIZA asks the government to order private ICUs and to be centrally managed by the NSS.
We had to reach the total loss of control of the pandemic and the point of near collapse of the NSS in Thessaloniki to remember to punch the clinicians, while to this day all their politics revolved around the protection of their interests.
“Even now he reacts without a plan, day by day, seeing and doing.”
Your president Movement for change Fofi Gennimata On Thursday he had a teleconference with doctors and nurses from the Thessaloniki Hospitals, about the dramatic situation that exists with the pandemic. Among other things, he stressed that it requires: “Integration in planning and on-call time of private clinics and Military Hospitals. Under the unified coordination of a public authority. The relevant legal framework already exists, albeit with delay. And if it is necessary to accelerate “.
To the KKE
“It is inconceivable even now, shortly before the Thessaloniki hospitals collapse, that the government will continue negotiations with doctors from whom it has already asked millions of euros and who are already doing business with gold because the NSS cannot deal with it. with non-covid incidents “. The organization of the Central Macedonia party of the KKE states in a statement.
“The government’s letter to the private clinics is an acknowledgment of the criminal nature of its policy,” he said. He already had to have a plan for how the services of which units would be integrated and with which staff. That is why I should have unconditionally ordered these companies for a long time. “But he chose to give them the opportunity to increase their income at a time when people were losing their lives.”
The KKE asks the government “without further delay, without waiting for any” understanding “from the doctors, to now order all units and include them in the national plan to face the pandemic.”
TO DAY 25 In a statement, he said: “Is it still possible for the government to please the doctors? Immediate order without negotiations and scandalous compensation.
Is it possible that the Government continues to plead with the heads of the Thessaloniki clinics for the private sector ICUs? There are two explanations: either the management of Mr. Mitsotakis and Mr. Kikilias is so irresponsible or it is a criminal application of ideological obsessions and service interests. Let them tell us which of the two equally nightmare scenarios applies, so that citizens can weigh the size and type of responsibility.
Accelerate immediately without any negotiation with private clinics all the available ICUs that exist in the city of Thessaloniki and include the entire private health sector in the broader design of the National Health System to face the pandemic in the country.
No more criminal procrastination and, above all, no outrageous and outrageous compensation for clinicians: XTHES order. “
