Councilors Esther Nevado and Juan Vicente Larrosa have accompanied the users of the Los Ramos health center, who together with their mayor, Marina Navarro, have concentrated demanding the opening of the same San José de la Vega, Los Ramos, Santa Cruz, Cobatillas, Orilla del Azarbe, Rincón de Beniscornia, El Puntal, Zeneta and Casillas are left without assistance, while that of Rincón de Seca is occupied by 112 staff The Municipal Socialist Group speaks of "nonsense due to the constant dismantling of district services", which far from being resolved "are increasing day after day". Lack of transport, care in municipal centers, cultural and leisure offer, cleaning and now also health care are some of the deficiencies that the residents who live in the 52 districts of the municipality suffer on a daily basis . Precisely, the users of the Los Ramos office have been concentrated this morning, accompanied by its pediatric mayor, Marina Navarro, demanding the reopening.
The socialist councilors Esther Nevado and Juan Vicente Larrosa have supported the neighborhood mobilization "for being fair by harming their rights as citizens," says Nevado. But it is not the only locality without this service, since San José de la Vega, Santa Cruz, Cobatillas, Orilla del Azarbe, Rincón de Beniscornia, El Puntal, Zeneta and Casillas, while that of Rincón de Seca is occupied by personnel from the 112.
In total, a population of around 40,000 inhabitants is left without a doctor in their villages, which forces them to move to other districts to receive assistance "with the added serious problem of not having a suitable bus," says Larrosa.
. In this regard, he explains that the users of Casillas, who have been referred to Llano de Brujas, towns that are three kilometers away, need more than two and a half hours to get to and from the doctor by bus, since they have to come to Murcia to change lines.
In the case of those from Zeneta, who have to go to the Alquerías health center, more than three hours; those from San Ginés have to go to Nonduermas, four kilometers, two hours and forty-four minutes.
Therefore, "there are people, some very old, who prefer to walk," explains the councilor, who recalls that from Los Ramos to Beniaján, where the health center is located, there are six kilometers, but "the neighbors are privileged because They have a direct bus that takes just half an hour, "says Larrosa ironically, adding that"It is not just about the delay and waste of time but the economic cost of taking a bus whose ticket costs 1.85 euros each way.
" For his part, Nevado has highlighted the presence of the pediatric mayor of Los Ramos with his neighbors, "defending their well-being and services, while the mayor Ballesta is more for the flowers, parks and gardens and the photos and not to complain where it is needed and to whom it is not closed doctor's offices ". Also, he warns of the importance of having complete basic services such as the doctor, because "we already know what happens when it is cut in healthcare, we have verified it during this pandemic." Nevado, who points to the great neighborhood discontent among the populations that have been left without medical assistance, has also been interested in the Rincón de Seca health center, "occupied" by the regional emergency coordination team, 112.
"We fear that until these staff, who are also not in the best conditions, do not have a space to work, they will continue to occupy it." The PSOE spokeswoman in Zeneta, Regina Sarría, whose neighbors are divided between the health centers of El Raal and Alquerías, has also been at the concentration. Esther Nevado also points to the case of Rincón de Beniscornia, which does not have a doctor's office, but does have a service already reduced with a nurse an hour a day, which has also been suppressed, when the neighbors' demand is that they provide greater assistance.
