Three new health professionals will be incorporated next Tuesday to the offices of La Hoya and Marchena in Lorca, in order to strengthen the consultations of family medicine and nursing.
Specifically, La Hoya incorporates a doctor and a nurse full-time and Marchena a doctor, also full-time.
These new hires are included in the actions for the improvement of health care in the San Diego basic health area, in whose health center should have begun this week the consultations scheduled for the afternoon schedule.
However, the Murcian Health Service is facing great difficulties in finding doctors who want to work in the afternoon in the health center "which, unfortunately, has ruined our initial plans," said the general director of Health Assistance , Roque Martínez.
In this regard, said that "from the central services of the Murcian Health Service there is no day when we do not make new calls for these offers, but so far the efforts have been unsuccessful," among other issues, he stressed, "because it is not that There are many available professionals on the stock exchange, especially on these dates when substitutions are being offered for the Christmas period. "
"We are convinced that from January 8, when everything stabilizes after the holidays, everything will be working as planned and San Diego will be able to have their afternoon consultations." The neighbors can not have the slightest doubt that our commitment is to meet their needs and we will do it, "said Martinez.
The goal is for the center of San Diego to have two family and community medicine consultations, two nursing and one pediatric, among which a part of the health card allocated to the Primary Care center will be distributed.
