According to the deputies, “in the same week, a patient with cancer and a patient with multiple sclerosis went to the Hospital of Faro and to the Hospital de Portimão, respectively, to receive the prescribed medication according to their treatment, having both left without the treatment and the prescribed medication».
For Cecília Honório, this makes “very clear that there continues to be a disruption in the supply of medications for hospital dispensation at the CHA, a situation that must be urgently overcome, as it is neither acceptable nor conceivable for patients to be deprived of prescribed medication and that need'.
For the blocistas, these are «situations that cause great embarrassment to patients due to the interruption of the therapeutic process, as well as causing immense wear to users and their families when, above all, it is a matter of large visits to the health unit, which has been lacking any effect - the patient who went to the Hospital of Faro lives about 70 km away'.
Cecília Honório and João Semedo “demand to know the reason that led to the interruption of these medicines and for how long it lasted”.
BE's parliamentarians also want to see clarified the question of what other drugs have been in short supply since the beginning of the year and what measures are being taken to solve these recurrent disruptions.
