Andalusian adviser says that the cuts do not guarantee the sustainability of the health system but “opposite”

MADRID, 29 ( EUROPA PRESS)

The Andalusian counselor of health, Maria Jesus Montero, ensures that cuts do not guarantee the sustainability of the health system but “ quite contrary” because “take away rights to citizens does not mean ensuring sustainability”.

Montero in statements to the media at the start on Wednesday of the first Council Interterritorial of the national health system presided over by the Minister Ana Mato has spoken and that addresses, inter alia, a basic vaccination schedule, the adoption of the protocols of withdrawal of the mammary prosthesis PIP and the interoperability of health insurance card and digital medical history.

“The best way to keep the model is that citizens feel identified with it and, sometimes, certain benefits that you may think are superfluous, as the techniques of assisted reproduction, are tremendously important to the expectations of the middle classes and we believe that health care should be equal for all”, the counselor has said.

On the other hand, has shown its concern about the unique calendar of vaccination and the possibility that many vaccines “are left out” and has indicated that he would like the Ministry to give your opinion on the possibility of imposing fees to the prescription of drugs.

Councillor has highlighted that, as always, Andalusia attends the Interterritorial Council “with the spirit of the SNS construction”, something considered “fundamental” as “in the times that they run, with the political debate which we are witnessing, we must be able to establish coordination systems, systems of cohesion to the autonomous communities work together and may be exporting the best possible models”.

“Commented this because sometimes, he attends the discussion about the suitability of the autonomic system in which we find ourselves, where it seems that the problem of the crisis and the development of policies lies in regional competition, which in the health sector is not well, but just the opposite: one of the elements of increased competitiveness of the SNS is the articulation of competencies in the autonomous communities”, has been completed.
