Using Urgencias - is it an emergency?

Noticias:

Doctors in the Canary Islands claim that 80% of health emergencies are not such.

"When someone goes to the emergency room for nonsense, the person who goes because something really happens to him has to wait two or three hours, and when there is a list of several hours of people who really need it, maybe you have to think that his is not so urgent," explains Fernando Jiménez, spokesman for AMAPCAN.

 

That's how forceful he expressed himself in the microphones of Lancelot Television Fernando Jiménez.

 

The spokesman of the Association of Doctors of the Canary Islands wants to emphasize this message since 80% of the people who go to the Emergency Room do not have sufficiently serious pathologies to do so and therefore it is considered essential from the Association to increase basic health training both in the media and in the schools themselves.

 

"We must make constant institutional campaigns in the media to train and inform the population of what is really urgent and what can be done in the medicine cabinets at home, as well as a powerful school training to avoid these saturations of Emergencies."

 

In this way, it would be possible to speed up urgent procedures and would also serve not to saturate the medical work of health professionals. "We have to get to have more acceptable ratios in the Emergency Department and ensure that the urgent is always addressed first," says Jiménez.

 
It is intended to reduce the assistance to health centers until normal ratios are achieved that do not collapse the waiting rooms of our hospitals or health centers.
