Professionals feel abandoned to be able to meet the demand that they are meeting daily, they say that all Primary Care professionals are suffering healthcare pressure on the verge of collapse.
Public health workers say that there are no personnel on the lists so that they can work and reinforce the different centers because the working conditions are not attractive, and that therefore, the solution is to improve the working conditions so that these professionals come back.
