Unfortunately the problems regarding the operation of the Pediatric Clinic are still continuing, as the only doctor who meets the needs of the Hospital and comes from the Primary Health Care, has not yet accepted his appointment, based on the decision that was published last month in the Government’s Gazette .
On-call duty is still covered by pediatrician doctors who are commuting to Zakynthos for only a few days from the Children’s Hospital of Patras, following a decision by the 6th Health District, and what is now expected is the “fate” of the notices in progress an adjunct doctor’s post, but also two permanent doctor positions for the Pediatric Clinic, one for the Director and the other for the Curator.
From the 6th Health District, four positions of NHS doctors were approved for announcement, and these are as follows: Specialty Pediatrics positions, one specialist in cardiology and one ICU specialist. Due to the significant underwriting of the Department of Pediatrics, following the resignations of specialized doctors, the Board of Directors proposed that one position of the specialty of pediatrics be proclaimed as the Director and the other positions as the curator.
At present, however, these procedures are under way, and there is still a need for doctors to be interested in filling positions. The Administration specifically calls upon local scientists to apply for their appointment to the Hospital to provide a major work on the island.
Regarding the operation of the ICU, which is still a serious issue, as once again confirmed by the representatives of the hospital administration, in March our island will be operating an ICU, but rather an Increased Care Unit. The operation of the Unit will be carried out by certifying the machines that are already in the Hospital, but also by recruiting staff, which in addition to one doctor will be about 10 nurses. The administration of the Hospital is geared to transferring the experienced nursing staff to the Unit and the new staff recruited to fill the gaps that will be created.
All the above procedures should be completed within a very tight timeframe.
The island’s players are struggling
The motor rally of the island, which took place on Saturday afternoon, will follow up their fight, as the delegates of the organizations that organized it will call for the Ministry to provide definitive solutions to the operation of the Hospital.
Speaking on radio the President of the Labor Center George Constantinou noted that the signing of the signatures continues for the next few days before the intervention in Athens and directly at the Ministry of Health.
“The battle for the operation of the Hospital continues and we will not stop fighting for the Pediatric Clinic, the ICU and the EKAB, which are some of the problems that exist. We are increasingly being informed by our fellow citizens about the costs they spend on relocating outside the island for health services, while it is indicative to see how many private ambulances are moving with the ship liners, but also what demand exists from private centers, even for Pediatricians. On the other hand, the silence from the Ministry of Health, but also from all the political players on the island, from the Municipality and the Region to the MP,which have not said a word, “stressed Mr. Constantinou, adding that the response of the people to the signing of the resolution on the Hospital is enormous. The text is being circulated in workplaces, in schools, in neighborhoods, and in the offices of the Labor Center. ” he stressed.
