Luis Alfredo Riquelme, a resident of Roca, faces a desperate situation. As an insulin-dependent diabetic, he urgently needs to get NPH insulin. After the measures carried out by staff health, where there was no medical care, launched a campaign to obtain insulin pens. Furthermore, this episode was generated in a context of lack of medical supplies that the hospital is experiencing.
“The Government publicly announced that it purchases supplies, but it does not reach the hospitals, and this complicates the working conditions for health workers when attending to emergencies,” said Hugo Rojas, Asspur representative.
Riquelme is especially affected by this situation. He assured that You cannot consult your family doctor, who is the only one authorized to prescribe insulin for your treatment.
Julieta, his wife, told Diario RÍO NEGRO that «Even when he manages to obtain a prescription, the prescription has expired because we have repeatedly gone to the hospital pharmacy and there are no supplies, In other words, it is not a guarantee that I have the recipe either.
«Nor can you get a medical prescription outside the hospital, because they don’t receive it in the pharmacy, they have to be specialists. or hospital professionals,” explained Julieta.
In addition to insulin, Luis Alfredo also requires 1 gram paracetamol to relieve body pain. «Although paracetamol can be obtained in a pharmacy outside the hospital, it is inaccessible for our economic situation»added Juliet.
Those who wish and can collaborate with NPH insulin pens can contact Julieta, to the telephone number 2984 935079.
