Dr. Reina Perdomenico, with 25 years of professional experience in public health, began her career at CAPS Sur and José Ingenieros, passing through most health centers, including all rural centers; Just as she has also been in charge of the Moquehuá Municipal Hospital, “I have always been working within primary public health care, and I am very happy about this new challenge,” she noted.
“The CAPS are fully operational,” she indicated when asked, “we have made a change in the opening hours in the main centers such as San José, La Unión and CAPS Sur, which remain with a 7-hour time slot. to 7 p.m., while the smaller CAPS are open from 7 a.m. to 1 p.m.
“In the CAPS San José and Sur, vaccination for Covid is available and in the rest of the CAPS the rest of the vaccination calendar, school entry and to complete the different schemes,” he emphasized, “in the three main CAPS we have two groups nursing, so two nurses are available per shift.”
Regarding human resources, he indicated that in the current context, “it is being hierarchized and redistributed in the CAPS with more complexity, the nursing team is the gateway to the system, especially if it has to elevate or refer the patient, “a trained nurse who provides an immediate response is the premise.”
Decentralization of the Municipal Hospital
In this sense, he indicated that different pathologies are covered such as chronic non-communicable diseases, hypertension, diabetes, gastrointestinal diseases and epoxy, among others, “we have our specialists distributed in the different CAPS, such as Dr. Parysow, a diabetologist. who serves at the CAPS Pastorino, where we centralize pathology and metabolic syndromes.
In the CAPS “San Donato” gynecology is focused with the different professionals who serve there, in the CAPS San José there is Dr. Chemes with pulmonology, the gastroenterologist professionals, the obstetrics team and the medical professionals in general, decentralizing the disciplines specific”, he described, “in these cases not only care and consultation are prioritized, but also adherence to medical treatment and clinical dietary and nutritional adherence, which has to do with the patient’s other habits, giving an interdisciplinary response among all the professionals, who contribute to the common goal of keeping users healthy, with the best possible quality of life within the socioeconomic context in which we live.”

The importance of vaccination

Regarding Covid, “it is essential to have the vaccination up to date, to reduce the circulation of the virus, if we do not let it replicate it will weaken, so you must get vaccinated, especially if there are comorbidities, in people under 50 years of age. , the advice is to maintain an annual dose, and for adults and those with comorbidities it is recommended every six months, the vaccine is available in CAPS Sur and in San José, with free access and without the need to bring the card because it is registered in the computer system, so we know what dose corresponds to the user.
Regarding Covid, the recommendation is the same, maintain the schemes, get vaccinated every year, they are vaccines that are here to stay,” he continued and pointed out to those who are somewhat reluctant to update the vaccine that, “it is important to recognize the role vital of vaccination in the fight against the disease, the more prevalent the virus becomes, the more options it has to mutate, if we get vaccinated we limit the possibility of replication, the recommendation for adverse effects is to take some analgesic to tolerate the decline or the headache, since we all get vaccinated it is essential, in general terms people come to get vaccinated, and we have availability of vaccines,” he concluded.
