Twenty-six different medications are missing from the clinic of the Institute of Social Security and Services for State Workers -ISSSTE- recognized the director of the institution. María Inés Gelasio Almaguer.
The head of the local ISSSTE clinic, commented that the workers’ protest is clear, regarding the lack of medicines.
He acknowledged that the shortage is nationwide and that at least in the Monclova unit, 26 drugs are missing among them, insulins to treat diabetes, and other drugs to control hypertension.
The doctor indicated that she makes a weekly request for the missing items to be filled, but that does not guarantee that they will be sent to her as she requests.
A little unwell and tense due to the situation that arose last Tuesday, the director was reluctant to issue a statement.
“The demand that the teachers are making is not exclusive to the local ISSSTE but at the state level and the President of the Republic, so I think the interview should be done with whoever is higher.”
As it will be remembered, last Tuesday at noon, teachers unionized to section 5 of the National Union of Education Workers, -SNTE- placed canvases with messages of disagreement, after the prevailing shortage of medicine.
In addition to the lack of medicine, they also complain about the lack of sufficient medical personnel to provide timely and efficient care.
