Despite the performances and the certain efforts made by the management staff of the Health and Population Department (DSP), branches within the sector and some partners give the impression of being resolutely determined not to evolve positively. The citizen suffers. Donating a bag of blood can save a human life and one is never disappointed after such an act when a parturient regains her smile or when a seriously ill patient or a victim of a road accident reconnects with life.
Voluntary blood donors are numerous in Souk Ahras and their infallible solidarity is not to be proven. That is. Any sign of reverence emanating from any physical or moral entity contributes to multiplying the number of these volunteers and to perpetuating this salutary gesture for our patients. And yet this is not the case for many blood donors in this wilaya where the reception leaves something to be desired and where the elementary means give food for thought. Here is an account brought by one of them, in this case Mohamed Lamine Khalfi: “On the 2nd of July, I answered the call of a woman who asked for blood for her post-treatment care. -operative at the level of a private health facility.
The latter apparently does not collect blood or receive donors. To do this, his managers advised his relatives to contact a public establishment. Done despite the questions that abound in my head to this day regarding this measure, which is as restrictive as it is illegible from an ethical point of view. Arrived as agreed at the place indicated inside a public hospital structure, great will be my amazement in front of a totally faulty stethoscope and a tensiometer which hardly responds to the diastolic and systolic pressure readings.
The act accomplished, I was treated to a glass of water, a juice and a yogurt of quality and of a not very reassuring caliber as a recovery dish. Even if I care little for myself, the average citizen is entitled to wonder where the money allocated to such a chapter of financial management goes. My apprehension is the same for the private health structures which rake in billions in return for approximate care.
We haven’t heard of cyclical checks and inspections for ages. The newspaper tried in vain to contact the structure concerned. The lines were either out of order or unanswered.
