Two-hour demonstration at HOH
The Aruba hospital union held a two-hour demonstration with staff over the financial situation at Horacio Oduber Hospital, according to a November 11 report by 24ora. ABV president Gina Maduro said the union supports hospital management and has followed the institution’s funding difficulties since the beginning of the year.
Maduro calls for government intervention
Maduro said ABV receives monthly information about the hospital’s finances and has met its supervisory board as the shortfall has grown. She also said the union had raised the situation with the responsible minister.
The union president argued that the minister could intervene through the legal framework governing AZV and direct funding toward continuity of patient care. That is her account of the available response; the report does not establish that a new ministerial instruction has been issued.
