In a previous article ( Ayuso and the Madrid health disaster ) I pointed out the serious problems that Madrid's Public Health has and how these have been produced by an intentional policy of deterioration, decapitalization and privatization carried out by the PP for 26 years, which was have been aggravated by the extemporaneous management of Ms. Ayuso and her continued attempt to use the pandemic to confront the central government's policy and carve out a space in the leadership of the most extreme right. Now that elections are being proposed in Madrid, we would have to design what we should do so that the Madrid Public Health System abandons this drift and incorporates the necessary changes to respond adequately to the health of the population.
The first thing is of course to change the attitude, Madrid's healthcare is inserted in the National Health System of this country, and cannot and should not follow a path of confrontation that confuses the population and increases the risks in the midst of a pandemic. Close collaboration is required between all the Autonomous Communities to adopt joint strategies to address the pandemic, as well as health policies. But there Belgium Mobile Number List are also a series of measures that must be taken in the Community of Madrid to ensure quality Public Health with the capacity to respond to the current situation and new health contingencies: The first thing that is needed is sufficient financing , which would mean standardizing the per capita budget to the average of the Autonomous Communities, which means €2.5 billion more for Public Health this year. On the other hand, 25% must be allocated. for Primary Care and a minimum of 2% for Public Health.
We have to recover the Health Areas to scale up comprehensive and territorialized care and coordination between levels, which has been so missed during this health crisis. We must end the marginalization of Primary Care by placing it as the axis of the system. Providing it with budgetary resources, personnel (500 medical professionals, 5,000 nursing professionals and 600 in administrative units are required), infrastructure and access to adequate diagnostic means, promoting community care, prevention and promotion, and ensuring care for health demand in less than 48 hours. On the other hand, it is essential to open all health centers full hours and recover in-person care there. Privatized hospitals, cut resources and privatized/outsourced activities must be recovered . Paralyzing privatizations, not renewing contracts/concessions that end, and implementing a plan for the gradual recovery of what has been privatized as well as for strict control of its operation. The need to strengthen Public Health Services has become evident during the pandemic.
