SATSE qualifies Boi Ruizs “ambiguous” speech and calls to crisis not serve as an excuse to introduce appropriate copayment

|

MADRID, 30 (EUROPA PRESS)

The Union of nursing SATSE has described the speech of the Counselor of health of the Generalitat catalana, Boi Ruiz, of “deliberately ambiguous”. Also, upon hearing his proposing a private higher income insurance, asked that the crisis should not be used to introduce measures of co-pay.

To his view, “is much talk of introducing measures of copay but it has never clarified what will do with the money raised”. In addition, it warns that “under no circumstances should used the crisis to impose more measures of co-payment in health”.

“There is a possibility of improving the management but for this you need managers professional and not related to the political ideology of the ruling party, as it is customary in our State,” adds.

Are therefore opposed to any measure that penalises even more health, and understands that carried out somewhat, “the politicians should offer a serious commitment that this money will finally reverse the improvement of the public health system and which will not focus, for example, at the other end”.

Similarly, budgets finalists for health claims, and recalls that “today refers much of the deficit of the Spanish public health system but nobody explains if the money earmarked for health has completed financing public works, for example, or covering gaps in the budget of other non-health departments”.

In this sense, since SATSE recalls that the health budget of Spain is around 6.5% of GDP, two points less than the European average. “In spite of this the level of efficiency is high, thanks to the effort of health professionals, including nurses, which, however are affected principals in setting up cutbacks”, concludes.

The shortage of funds puts at risk the progress against AIDS

|

London (Reuters) – the international community has made progress extraordinary in the last decade in the fight against AIDS, but a funding crisis is jeopardising those achievements, said Wednesday the health agencies of Nations United.

A report led by the World Health Organization said that the virus of human immunodeficiency (HIV) that causes AIDS and around now infects 34 million people throughout the world proved to be a “formidable challenge” for scientists and health experts public.

“But the trend is changing,” he added. “The tools to achieve an AIDS-free generation are in our hands”.

However, a serious crisis of funding in the largest sponsor of the world in the fight against AIDS and a decline in the money provided by international donors to fight the disease is making dent in the optimism in the community of HIV/AIDS on an eventual end of the pandemic.

The annual programme of HIV/AIDS funding was reduced to $ 15 billion (11.270 million euros) in 2010 from 15,900 billion in 2009, well below the estimated 22-24,000 million dollars to the UN agencies say they are needed by 2015 to pay for a comprehensive global response and effective.

The Global Fund against AIDS, Tuberculosis and Malaria, of public-private character and major sponsor of the world for the treatment of HIV and prevention programmes, said last week that was going to cancel the new grants for countries fighting against these diseases and would not have any new funding available until 2014.

In an interview with Reuters in London while the report of the UN agencies was made public, Gottfried Hirnschall, director of the HIV/AIDS who said that the breakthrough in reducing the number of new HIV infections and a dramatic increase in access to AIDS drugs of this a critical moment in the battle.

Scientists from the past year studies have also shown that if the people who have HIV is treated in time against AIDS could reduce significantly the number of people who are infected with the virus.

“This is a year really exciting, because we are seeing a downward trend in those areas in which we want to see trends downward – new infections and mortality – and we are seeing trends upward where we would like to see them, especially in coverage (of treatment) rates,” said Hirnschall.

The latest figures from the report on Wednesday and a global study of UNAIDS known last week show that the number of new HIV infections fell to 2.7 million in 2010, compared to 3.1 million in 2001, while the number of people receiving anti-AIDS drugs increased to 6.65 million in 2010 only 400,000 in 2003.

Hirnschall said the data suggested that the aim of the who – having zero new infections and zero deaths and zero HIV stigma – “could be in the not too distant future become a reality”.

But the big risk lies in financing, he said.

“We have a deficit of $ 7 billion for this year and what is even more alarming is that we also had almost $ 1 billion less this year from the previous year”.

With many major international donor countries struggling with the recession and debt crisis, Hirnschall said that it was crucial for the countries affected by HIV/AIDS do our utmost to finance their own programmes and make limited resources go further beyond.

The report on Wednesday, published on the occasion of the World AIDS Day on December 1 by the who, the Nations United against AIDS (UNAIDS) programme and the Fund of United Nations for children (UNICEF) said that programmes of treatment, prevention and dissemination were increasingly effective, integrated health clinics services and find local communities more effective ways to get drugs for patients with HIV.

“However, financial pressures… are threatening the impressive progress to date”, said, adding that the reduction in funding was a “deeply disturbing trend”.

But he stresses that the decisions of the Government are above the reflections of Ruiz

|

Barcelona, 30 nov (EFE).-the President of the Generalitat, Artur Mas, has today made clear, with regard to the controversy generated by the Minister of health, Boi Ruiz, on account of the policies in health, that the decisions of the Government are above the reflections of a counsellor.

In response to a question at the meeting of control of the Parliament by the leader of ICV, Joan Herrera, the president has stressed that one thing are the decisions of the Balearic Government, and other personal views, and has remarked that his Government is not “sounding balloons”.

“You’ll always find a reflection made in the context of a session of whatever.” “If you want to create controversy with this, can do you each week, but look at the decisions,” said Mas in reference to the views of the owner of health.

BOI Ruiz yesterday took a conference convened by the Catalan Association of health establishments (ACES), to say that a formula for financing the public health system could be forcing the citizens with a certain income to conclude a medical insurance.

However, the Government clarified later, through the Department of health, which does not raise this possibility, implying that it was a mere personal reflection of the conseller.

In the meantime, the Chairman of the Group of ICV-EUiA in the Parlament, Joan Herrera, has tapped the control session to claim to more monographic debate in the Parliament to know “what is the limit” of the Government with regard to the cuts, while the leader of Ciutadans, Albert Rivera, has called an extraordinary to talk about the health care model.

Assuming that understanding with CiU “is impossible”, Herrera has called for more “a change of method” and that the Balearic Government not engaged in launching balloons probe, but define once far wants in their settings.

Is not committed or to one or to another monograph debate, and it has been suggested that one cannot speak of all this, and economic growth, when the budgets of the Generalitat are processed by 2012.

Herrera has denounced that the Government promised not to lower the salary of officials again now instead breaks his word and has upheld some public communication of quality media, while most ICV to keep the same speech criticized demagogue regardless of the outcome of the recent elections.
