“With the cost of living very high, it is very difficult for people to be able to cover the high costs of laboratories, tests, medications and specialists, the situation is going to be difficult for people with fewer resources” 2024-05-03 23:15:39

This Thursday in the Encuentro interview with Julio Villagrán, the national coordinator of the national health forum, Morena Murillo, mentioned that at the beginning of this government the health reform was going to be deepened, which had achieved achievements such as the vaccination scheme, reduction in maternal and infant death, among other advances, however what has been seen is the little health coverage in the communities, replaced by occasional health days.

“With the cost of living very high, it is very difficult for people to cover the high costs of laboratories, tests, medications and specialists, the situation is going to be difficult for people with fewer resources.” Murillo highlights.

For Murillo, it is necessary to take health promotion actions to avoid diseases, since if people have health protective factors in their communities, it will be easier to address their health problems.

“If the problems are not addressed or seen at the time of the protective factors that guarantee people’s health, we do not have the capacity for all people to be cured or have decent treatment in a third-level health system. ” expresses the national coordinator of the national health forum

Regarding public policies, they are strategic plans carried out by the government with reserve plans with little transparency. Murillo also highlighted that the new Law of Specialties of Medical Professions is an attempt to separate the Medical College and other unions from certifications of the specialties.

“These laws to some extent are going to affect the medical union but mainly they are going to affect the population, if the people who are already working in this are not taken into account, what is going to happen in health is really going to be much more disastrous. of our country… It is the law to be born with affection but they are neglecting everything that has to do with the strategies that will guarantee that women do not die.” indicates Morena Murillo
