• Health Ayuso calls the locked up doctors "squatters"

  • Health The Government of Ayuso and the doctors break the negotiation to call off the strike

From the Cuesta de Moya to Cibeles, a march toured the center this morning to denounce the "critical" situation of Madrid's Health, after the Strike Committee of family doctors and pediatricians, entrenched for 36 hours in the Ministry , left his confinement last night due to the impossibility of getting food and without "any valid interlocutor", as

Amyts demanded,

appearing for the negotiation.

Convened by the

Board in Defense of Public Health of Madrid (MEDSAP)-Marea Blanca

, the protest accentuates the pressure on the regional government, which the organizers of the event accuse of being "sold out to speculative private companies" and of putting risk "recklessly, dismissively, offensively and seriously" the health of the people of Madrid.

The White Tide, which has already signed 96 demonstrations since its foundation, was called this Saturday under the slogan

Without public health, there is no right to health.

It coincides with the indefinite strike of almost 5,000 Primary Care physicians, which began on November 21.

A conflict where, according to the White Tide, the Community "has gone too far".

In parallel, in an act in Chinchón,

President Isabel Díaz-Ayuso

has described as a "political problem" the clash sustained with the doctors during these four weeks, which includes the milestone of the demonstration of no less than 200,000 people on the 13th of november.

"What I see is that there is no health problem here," she stressed, but rather that political interests "are meddling to try not to solve a labor problem."

She has described as

"very childish"

what happened in recent days in Sagasta 6: "They went to a meeting with the Community of Madrid and they planned to lock themselves up and stay in a public space. I think that these are not forms."

In addition, he recalled the

audios of a trade unionist leaked

at the beginning of this month: "When someone says they want to negotiate and the first thing they say is that they are going to extend the strikes until April, until the elections, yes, neither on Fridays nor on Monday and that their intention is even to impose who has to be the interlocutor and in each negotiation and to keep changing the requirements, what they are always looking for is to make this noise".

AGAINST SUAPS

During the protest, "the barbarity" of the Ayuso Government with the extra-

hospital emergency model

has also been denounced and they demand a return to the previous model with 37 Primary Care Emergency Services (SUAP) and complete teams in all of them.

"We consider a model unfeasible that leaves us with hardly any doctors and placing responsibilities that do not correspond to nurses, to which are added the orderlies," the organizers have indicated, remarking: "Emergency rooms closed, deaths assured."

Thus, they censor the three types of 24-hour centers, with 49 of them fully equipped (doctor, nurse and orderly), to which are added the

CUE of El Molar

and the

Casa de Socorro de Alcalá,

and the rest, 29, without face-to-face physician

Of the former, 39 correspond to the former Rural Care Services (SAR) and ten to the Primary Care Emergency Services (SUAP).

They urge the "immediate" opening of the SUAPs with the "incorporation of their professionals: we say no to the closure of Primary Care centers and the persistent attack on this jewel of Madrid public health."

In this sense, they have demanded that all centers have

complete equipment

"so that each one can play their role, because, they insist, "neither nursing, nor administrative staff nor orderlies are personnel trained to diagnose the disease."
