Jalisco He officially responded to the federal government that he will not deliver health services. The state agent, Enrique Alfaro Ramírez, confirmed that it has already sent the non-adherence approach to the director of Institute of Health for Welfare (Insabi). However, the President of Mexico, Andrés Manuel López Obrador, still does not give him an appointment to present the counterproposal for coordination in health.
He ruled that the relationship between the two could be complicated after his refusal to sign the agreement, it was only “a machote” the format of the document, considered when questioning the position taken by other governors who agreed to subscribe to Insabi. “They raised their hands and assumed that the issue of health is now a rage of the federation,” he said, saying he felt sorry for what was done by his counterparts.
Despite this, the President of the Republic “We endorse the possibility of building an effective coordination scheme, in the exercise of co-responsibility, that we share their objectives, but to meet them, you need a budget, not just speech, ”he said.
Alfaro Ramírez explained that he wants the federation to consider that Jalisco has two Decentralized Public Health Agencies and that it contributes 40 percent of the state health budget, when other entities only deliver 4 percent.
Interviewed after giving resources to the Diocesan Food Bank, Alfaro Ramírez reproached that the federation would try to administer the Civil Hospitals of Guadalajara. “We are not going to deliver them, that is part of what Insabi plans, I already imagined what an institution like the HC would mean to be delivered to the government of the Republic, that is something we cannot do. We do not want to raise our hands with an irresponsible attitude and say that health is anger of the federal government“He said.
He denied that he seeks a modification in the management of resources, on the contrary, it is possible, he said, to generate an additional budget that is operated under the coordination of both levels of government.
From his proposal he only advanced that access and free service will be guaranteed, but questioned: “Who will pay it? That costs, but we are proposing that a per capita budget similar to the one received by the Social Security delegation in Jalisco has to be guaranteed by the federation. ”
He said thatThey are asking for universal access hospitals, that is, they can go right holders of Social Security and open population since resources can be optimized.
The state health system has a budget of around 15 billion pesos, “what has to be determined is how much that budget could amount to with the new objectives that are being raised,” he said.
Yesterday, Alfaro Ramírez he met with the parents of children who have cancer and who marched from Morelos Park to the Government Palace, to whom he guaranteed the purchase of medicine for two months, while solving the problem of the agreement on health scheme with the federal government. “You can be sure that we will not allow a problem of drug supply, whatever the route taken with the federal government,” he promised and reiterated that this issue is not played.
However, the shortage they face today is recorded since last November, and until today it was decided that the state would absorb that expense. “Today we order what it takes, pay now the state. We are going to guarantee two months of necessary medications, ”he said.
In addition, “that resource should not be paid with resources that are supposed to be exercised from another side, but hey, the least responsible are they,” the governor claimed, after asking the Secretary of Health, Fernando Petersen Aranguren, who Follow up on each of the children suffering from cancer.
He ruled out that the shortage of cancer drugs is a reprisal of the federation before the decision of Jalisco not to join the scheme of the Institute of Health for Welfare (Insabi).
He argued that the decision he made is correct and he hopes to convince López Obrador.
“The sick are here in Jalisco, the doctors are here in Jalisco. The facilities are here. Imagine that the governor simply said, there is everything, it is no longer my anger to be attended by the federal government, it seems to me that this is irresponsibility, ”he insisted.
