The important improvement was born from the initiative of a mayor to donate 24 diets.
–
The Oncology ward of the Perón hospital is practically finished. It should be noted that this important improvement was born in January of this year when Councilor Nicolás Arce publicly made a commitment to donate all of the 24 diets that correspond to him as mayor, to be donated to cancer patients in the area.
The first part of this project is finished, but what remains is even more laudable as well as ambitious: the acquisition of a utility vehicle.
The idea is that the mobile is used only for the transfer of these patients who arrive at the Juan Domingo Perón hospital from neighboring towns to undergo chemotherapy or radiotherapy treatments.
“We are very happy to have been able to contribute even a little so that these cancer patients who have a very bad time from the moment they are diagnosed, can have a comfortable place where they feel content when doing the treatments that often result really aggressive,” the mayor told El Tribuno.
“In the last week the banners were placed that give color to the room, messages of encouragement for the sick and the relatives who accompany them so that with these details we have practically finished equipping oncology,” explained the councilor from Tartagal.
Arce never ceases to thank “the friends, neighbors and merchants of Tartagal such as the Montes firm, who gave me many elements to pay them in installments. Without the empathy and understanding of many valuable people from Tartagal, it would have been very difficult carry out any initiative like this”.
How to purchase a vehicle
Arce recalled that “when we were buying a television, refrigerator, air conditioner, mattresses, mats, armchairs and everything that is needed for the comfort of patients, it occurred to me that we should have our own vehicle for the service.”
“I was convinced that this had to be this way because of a girl who came from Mosconi to undergo the treatments. She could not come by bus due to her delicate condition, coming in a remís was very expensive for the family, which is poor and without social work, so many times I had my vehicle to move her,” he said.
“So, without even telling me, she convinced me that I had to get into a savings plan, buy a van so that patients can be picked up at their homes and comfortably brought back. Unfortunately, this girl from Mosconi passed away.” the mayor expressed, visibly moved by the young woman from Moscona who is no longer here.
A savings plan
Arce specified, however, that “because of the many patients who remain, many of whom I have faith and hope that they will recover, we are already paying for that savings plan. Once the money is awarded to me that he collects from the monthly allowances will be to pay an amount that is needed to withdraw it.But as a person from Tartagal, I would never again want a sick man or woman to delay their treatment because they cannot pay a remis or because they are not in a position to come by bus Many times, due to the progress of the disease, they must be transferred to Salta and the utility vehicle will come in handy for those occasions. Many people have already told me that they can count on it because they are professional drivers, so this project is done, “he emphasized.
A complaint in the Inadi
Nicolás Arce, who works in a hydrocarbon company in the area, which allows him to allocate his entire diet as a councilor to cancer patients at the Perón hospital, explained that in response to the request of many people “I am going to file a complaint in the Inadi against a radio program. Also against its hosts and several municipal officials, for discrimination. My task as a councilor involves making requests for reports, making visible many things that are not right in Tartagal and of which I find out precisely because the same neighbors let all of the councilors know about all these situations, not just me. But since I demand that measures be taken to improve security, the daily life of Tartagalenses seems to bother many officials.”
Arce explained that “they make fun of me saying that I am the partner of another councilor, they pretend to laugh at my sexuality because they do not know how to attack me. Personally, that does not affect me because I am a young person, respectful of those who perceive themselves sexually as they want. But getting involved With these things it is one of ignorance, of absolute precariousness and many people feel bad and the family feels attacked”.
“I am aware that for many the policy is to appeal to anything no matter how low, and if they do it with me they will do it with any other boy or girl; that is why I decided to file a complaint with the competent bodies, because officials or Those who call themselves journalists cannot be so violent and aggressive with these issues. If we want an inclusive city, with neighbors who respect those who act or think differently, in my capacity as councilor I cannot let these attitudes pass, which no longer have a place , which are ten years or more behind, but which nevertheless continue to generate violence and aggression today,” said the mayor at the end of his interview with El Tribuno.
