The doctors of the Gynecology and Obstetrics service of the CHUAC go on strike. 31 out of 40 have decided to go on strike from April 16 to 21 to demand one more gynecologist on duty at the Maternal and Child Hospital to attend the Emergencies. They are two that, they say, are often overwhelmed because they are not enough to meet the demand for care. The management of the Hospital Complex has already received notification of the call and indicates that it will study your claims.
The organizers of the strike describe the deficiencies in the coverage of the guards as “serious”. They emphasize that other hospitals in Galicia have had three specialists to attend emergencies for a long time and ask the same for a hospital of the size of Coruña.
They denounce that neither SERGAS nor the Health Department have responded to their repeated demands for years. CHUAC’s Gynecology and Obstetrics service attends about 11,000 women a year.
