The Mayor of Lorca, Fulgencio Gil, has demanded this morning to the Ministry of Health of the Autonomous Region of Murcia to maintain the commitment acquired with all Lorca to put into operation the San Diego Health Center in the afternoon to serve users and reduce waiting lists.

Fulgencio Gil stressed that "health is a key issue for Lorca, and particularly for the area of ​​the neighborhood." We are aware that there have been incidents not usual in hiring the necessary doctors, but we demand that the solutions that they are necessary to open in the afternoon as soon as possible, since that is the commitment acquired with this City Hall and with all Lorca. "

"This reinforcement of 7 professionals will allow the opening of the Health Center in the morning and afternoon, contributing in a definitive way to reduce the support pressure that it supports, and, what is more important for all, improving the attention to the citizens. For this reason, we demand that CARM keep its commitment and begin as soon as possible to provide Primary Care service to users of the San Diego Health Center in the evenings ".

The Mayor of Lorca, in this regard, said that "in this health center serving more than 30,000 users, which makes it the largest population coverage of the municipality, so it is necessary to improve the health care that These Lorca claim with the implementation in the afternoon of two consultations of family and community medicine, two nursing and one of pediatrics, among which part of this quota of health cards assigned to the Primary Care Center will be distributed.

Gil has indicated that "the administrative processing of an ambitious measure such as the one we want to put in place is complex, given that the needs in this area are broad." In this sense, we are also aware that there is a lack of medical professionals available for Primary Care, especially pediatrics, and not all are willing to attend consultations in the afternoon, and on another, the investment that will be for the SMS, since the hiring of these new professionals is half a million of euros per year, but we are fully convinced that this measure will also be a stimulus to further progress in health in our municipality and is a decision that users of this center deserve to be launched urgently.
