After the publication of the new concert by healthcare of the General Mutual Society of State Officials (Muface), which will be in force until 2024, the first voices have emerged denouncing possible cuts in medical charts Y hospitals. Some statements that from Muface and sources close to its General Council they deny and affirm, on the contrary, that the number of doctors has increased and hospitals are maintained.
Muface has underlined that this agreement “imposes on the entities the obligation to make available to the collective all the assistive meanss precise to make effective the service portfolio that is defined in it” and thus guarantee them. However, it details that this requirement “is structured by territorialized care levels”.
The answer arises following the USO Citizen Service Federation (FAC-USE) has denounced in a statement that the different entities have cut services and hospital centers since this month of January. However, voices from General Council of Muface have clarified to Medical Writing that the new healthcare agreement “has increased the number of doctors entered into with respect to the previous agreement and maintains the same hospital centers”.
Faced with the accusations that the clinical symptoms have been reduced, they point out that “in no case can a cancellation of surgeries concerted or cancellation of revisions“. “Guaranteed continuity of care with the same doctor in treatment of serious pathological processes for six months following the doctor’s withdrawal from the medical chart, provided that the doctor continues to practice his profession and agree,” they say.

louis delight, general secretary of FAC-USO, has criticized that he himself and other mutualists who have approached his organization have been “witnesses” that there are specialties that are no longer included. “Some had the complete preoperative period and, when they wanted to close the operation date, they were told that they might not attend to them.”

Muface guarantees the continuity of treatment for patients
Muface emphasizes that “it cannot force any entity to subscribe agreements with a health center or a specific doctor for a certain specialty”. However, the agreement includes “a series of stipulations for ensure continuity of care of patients with active processes and serious pathologies that maintain the affiliation entity”.

The unions deny the accusations regarding Muface
