IU-Verdes Lorca denounces a three-year delay in the start-up of Rafael Méndez's new MRI (19/10/2020)

| The councilor for this training, Gloria Martín, denounced that, meanwhile, 78% of patients who need to undergo to this diagnostic test they don't even have a date assigned | The councilor for Izquierda-Unida Verdes, Gloria Martín, has denounced the "passivity" of the Regional Government's Health Department in the implementation of the MRI donated by the Amancio Ortega Gaona Foundation more than three years ago. According to the Protocol of intentions signed by said foundation and the Autonomous Community of the Region of Murcia, (published in the BORM on July 8, 2017) the Murcian Health Service (SMS) undertook to use a donation of 11.7 million euros in the acquisition of professional equipment for cancer diagnosis for public hospitals in the Region.

Among other equipment, Health Area III would benefit from a 1.5 Tesla magnetic resonance imaging unit that has not yet come into operation at the Rafael Méndez regional hospital.

The mayor of IU-Verdes showed her indignation because, meanwhile, 78% of the patients in Health Area III who need to undergo this diagnostic test "do not even have an assigned date for its completion." And all this, when in 2017 the diagnostic imaging equipment of the Virgen de la Arrixaca and Reina Sofía (Murcia), Santa Lucía (Cartagena), Caravaca and Yecla hospitals was renewed, "completely obviating the needs of Rafael Méndez de Lorca ".

In this sense, Martín denounced that Lorca and the rest of Health Area III still lack the latest generation equipment that other cities in the Region have for several years.

In this regard, the IU-Verdes councilor considered "indecent" that the Region has first and second class hospitals, which implies that "citizens have different opportunities to face their medical problems depending on whether they get sick in Lorca or Murcia ". Martín recalled that although his political training is not in favor of the quality of health care in public centers depending on philanthropic actions, "it is absurd that once the donation is accepted, the autonomous administration leaves the dead body and does not immediately allocate the money to the purchase and implementation of this sanitary equipment, vital to improve the health of the users of Area III ".
