The political leadership of the Ministry of Health has not yet responded to the two successive queries made by the MP of political party KKE, on the operation of the Zakynthos Hospital as part of parliamentary scrutiny.
The MP of Achaia Nikos Karathanassopoulos, who is one of the members of the political party KKE who submitted the questions to the Minister of Health, together with Mr. Moraitis from last January, spoke on his radio, underlining that, unfortunately, Zakynthos Hospital is no exception to the general rule, in terms of the degradation of Public Health and the operation of Hospitals reaching the limits of their collapse.
“It is necessary to recruit staff, not patch things up,” said the MP of the political party KKE
“Under-funding and lack of staff create serious problems in the operation of Public Hospitals. As far as Zakynthos is concerned, we also refer to an island region, which adds more to the problem and its consequences. As for the questions we have raised for the Intensive Care Unit, which has never operated, despite the fact that Zakynthos Hospital has the relevant equipment, and for the questions we have raised in relation to the Paediatric Clinic, the Ministry of Health has not yet responded. On the contrary, there are some measures of fragmentary nature, such as the transfer of paediatricians from Karamandianio Hospital in Patras to Zakynthos Hospital, even when Karamandio does not have the luxury to offer staffing for Zakynthos. With such patch ups, the two Hospitals are further degraded, “said Karathanasopoulos, stressing that the solution requires immediate reinforcement of hospitals with staff rather than” patch ups “.
Indeed, the MP of the political party KKE, responding to the argument of huge bureaucracy and procedures delaying recruitment and appointment, noted that for other procedures regarding facilitation and favourable measures for business groups bureaucratic obstacles are overcome very easily!
“Because of a policy that has reduced doctors’ salaries, the government is using pretexts to paralyze nursing and medical services on the island of Zakynthos,” he noted. Problems at the Hospital have been prioritized in the agenda and combinations supported by the political party KKE for Local and Local Government in the Municipality and the Ionian Islands District.
