The Ceutí Association of Mastecotimized Women has learned that the Breast Unit of the University Hospital of Ceuta “has reduced its days of care for patients diagnosed with breast cancer.” From the Association they point out that, “considering the very high number of patients who are diagnosed with this disease in the city of Ceuta, more than 34 cases have been treated weekly, between Monday and Thursday, plus all the revisions, which supposes a burden of about 50 cases a week. “
Likewise, ACMUMA indicates that “this high number of weekly visits is almost unsustainable for the professionals who make up this unit, causing little attention in time and little individualized, which entails a lack of necessary information and great concern for both patients and professionals. for his little dedication “. The fact of reducing this consultation to a single day a week, “seems to us an unfortunate decision that will cause serious medical consequences since one of the main factors in the diagnosis of breast cancer is its early diagnosis, something that will be seen seriously affected by the delay that the delay will cause and the waiting time for attention, “they continue.
The Association also comments that this decision “is supported by the lack of personnel that currently make up this unit, which apparently has been significantly reduced for various reasons. Be that as it may, it is absolutely necessary that they reconsider the return to attention in the unit breast a minimum of 2 days a week, in order not to further affect women who must go through this serious disease “.
