A MEP hospital appeal is calling for an urgent response to the financial pressures affecting Horacio Oduber Hospital, according to a November 4 Diario report carrying remarks by party leader Evelyn Wever-Croes.
Party seeks figures on affected patients
Wever-Croes said the government should explain how many patients are affected, how many operations remain pending and which immediate measures are being taken. She argued that investigations should take place alongside practical steps to maintain access to treatment.
The concerns about postponed operations are attributed to the MEP statement. The report does not provide a verified count of delayed procedures or establish that all hospital operations have stopped.
Hospital meeting planned for this week
The party said it intended to meet with the hospital during the week to continue examining the problem. That is a planned meeting, not confirmation that a solution or a new financing agreement has been reached.
Wever-Croes thanked health professionals and other personnel for their work and called for transparent information and a concrete plan. The report sets out the opposition party’s requests; it does not announce an adopted government care plan.
