The candidate of the Socialist Party for the presidency of the Ribeira Brava City Council, Olga Fernandez, considers it urgent for the regional government to make interventions in the health centers of Campanario and Ribeira Brava, in order to provide spaces with the necessary conditions for users who have to wait outside for an appointment or deal with some other matter. related to their health.
Olga Fernandez notes that, whether it’s sunny or rainy, users have to wait outside and stand without any protection. A situation he considers unacceptable, especially when it comes to elderly people and people with children.
The PS filter, therefore, emphasizes the importance of building a balcony or placing a canopy, so that people can protect themselves from the sun and rain, as well as install benches. “There are the elderly, there are users who have children, and there are also those who, for reasons related to their clinical situation, cannot stand upright,” he says.
Olga Fernandez says that the placement of such equipment has been demanded for a long time and that this situation has been denounced even in the complaint book, without doing anything.
“Users deserve decent conditions while they wait for their turn to help,” the candidate asserts, pointing the finger at regional and municipal executives. The regional government has already been alerted to this situation over and over again, the problem has not been resolved. For its part, the city council, which should strive for better conditions for citizens, does nothing to pressure the government to take action,” he charges.
On the other hand, Olga Fernandez warns that there are still many people without a family doctor. In Campanário, there are about 600, while in Ribeira Brava this number rises to 2,000, and there are weeks when there is no appeal. There are users who wait a long time for an appointment and sometimes as if the wait was not enough are canceled or postponed because there is no doctor. These are urgent situations that must have another answer, as people’s health is at stake,” the PS candidate deplores.
Olga Fernandez stresses that people’s health should come first and, given the current situation, stresses that it is time for a change. He concludes: “For the nomination of the Socialist Party, the greatest priority will always be to defend the interests of the brave rappers and solve their problems.”
