Pediatricians from Mendoza, associates in the Union of Mendocino Pediatricians (UPM) They released a strong statement regarding the situation that the province’s professional health sector is going through. They analyzed what happens with obras sociales and the possibility of including coinsurance to alleviate losses in purchasing power.
“This closing of guards in the private sector, the closure of another guard in San Rafael occurs because it is unprofitable to maintain it well. All this added to the fact that professionals have had specific problems, this has been increasing year by year. year and is motivating many qualified professionals to leave the province, not only Chile but to neighboring provinces. Others even to abandon the profession, abandon pediatrics to do something else. We are really very concerned, certain conditions have to change so that the problem does not increase further,” said Juan Manuel Gamboa, president of UPM, to MDZ.
One of the alternatives they propose is the possibility of dialoguing with the obras sociales or else stop attending with obras sociales to compensate for the loss of money, that is, they charge a I promise that might alleviate those monetary losses. In a strong statement issued this week, they asked members to join these requests so that companies can improve services and help local pediatricians.
The harsh statement from Mendoza pediatricians.
In a section of the statement they issued, they emphasized that “in the last 5 years the query has been devalued four times if we compare it with the US currency. No economic activity in Argentina allow this to happen” and a key case to understand the situation is the following: annual inflation for 2022 was 94.8%, while private medicine plan fees closed with an accumulated rise of 113.8% On the other hand, the medical consultation did not come close to the inflationary indexes and they were below the increases that the prepaid ones charged their users.From the entity they marked that “if the situation is not reversed, the flight of professionals will continue to exist, increasing even more difficulties in access to health”.
and in dialogue with MDZGamboa highlighted: “I am a teacher in the last year of the faculty, precisely in the pediatric rotation. When I talk to my students, 50% of them plan to leave the country once they graduate. There are really very few who want to continue today in pediatricsThe same can happen with clinics, something that is related to the economic devaluation of our work. Regardless of the economic situation that each family may go through, a professional doctor must be understood as a natural resource, a human resource that is not infinite and if some measures are not taken it seems that this lack of a guard is going to increase.

On the situation of social and prepaid works, he added that: “They see us in a bad way because we want to change the already established paradigm, the professional might not debate or discuss the aspects of their employment relationship and there the unions make water, they do not deal with of the situation. There is no entity that protects and defends the professional. Perhaps it is one of the reasons why we are as we are”.
And another issue to take into account are the changes in the universities and he recognized that the chance to take residence time as years of seniority is a valid option in these moments of crisis. While he recognized that the training should be reformed
