The staff of the Order of Nurses, Ana Rita Cavaco, accused the Peñafiel hospital of “hiding” patients with Covid-19 during the visit of the Minister of Health at the end of last week.
One of the examples he gave in the president’s interview was the Peñafiel hospital, which has 197 infected in the premises.
Ana Rita Cavaco also accused the hospital of hiding those infected during a visit that the Minister of Health, Marta Temido, made to the facilities. “We continue to have the problem of hiding from guardianship and from the Portuguese, who are not children and deserve to know how things are,” said the president.
According to the nursing staff, the Penafiel hospital removed patients from the hospital during the minister’s visit. “There was a procession of patients and they even sent patients to Santa Maria in Lisbon, which is an end-of-line hospital,” he said.
Asked whether this situation occurred only during the visit of the Health Guardianship, Ana Rita Cavaco revealed that this situation of withdrawal of patients occurs every time a hospital is visited by a member of the Guardianship and also accuses the Peñafiel hospital of being responsible for the outbreak. that happened in Amarante.
“What happened in Peñafiel was that they hid what was happening inside,” the president told RTP, adding that the transfers from this hospital were responsible “for the Amarante outbreak.”
Ana Rita Cavaco revealed that the situation in Covid-19 has become unaffordable for the Peñafiel hospital. “As they were desperate and did not want to say what was happening, they transferred the patients to the Amarante hospital, many times without conditions and with two infected in the same ambulance, and they started to generate another outbreak”, denounced the president.
“There are a number of decisions that have been made that could have been avoided,” he said in the same interview.
The Economic Journal has already asked the Ministry of Health for a reaction on this issue.
When questioned by Jornal Economico, an official source for the Centro Hospitalar do Tâmega e Sousa, which is part of the Penafiel hospital, she refused to comment.
