With no pediatric intensive care units, the UK government is looking for jobs in a private network: “Indignant went home”

-

The resentment is what the father of a 3-year-old boy felt, who on Wednesday (24) had to go twice to the Joan de Gusmão Children’s Hospital in Florianopolis so that his son could be diagnosed and treated. According to him, the hospital is still facing the problem of overcrowding.

High demand has even left Santa Catarina without beds for pediatric intensive care units, as evidenced by the latest update from the SES this Friday (26). The state government has said it is seeking private chain beds to meet demand.

Due to overcrowded hospitals, treatment in hospital wards took time. On Wednesday (24 years old), the father of a 3-year-old boy encountered a situation.

The man, who does not want to be named, said that his son had a high fever and took him to the capital’s hospital. After tests showed a spot in the child’s lungs, the team advised the father to take the boy to a children’s hospital, as hospitalization may be required.

overcrowded hospital

A children’s hospital in Florianopolis faced overcrowding, which a man noticed. He said that he arrived at the unit around 3 am on Wednesday (24).

According to him, at that time it seemed that the hospital was empty, since no one was expected outside, but inside the unit everything was different. “The corridors were crowded,” he said.

The children’s hospital conducted new tests, which also indicated a spot in the child’s lung. However, the doctor who treated the boy said he had the virus and let him go.

“He changed his shift and the doctor who came said we can go home because he had nothing but the virus. I went home angry. But I had to come back later, around 7 pm. The hospital was full,” says the father.

The man said the child had had a fever for at least 10 days and was first taken on Wednesday, the child was treated with dipyrone, but the medicine did not bring the temperature down. So he went back to the hospital for help.

The second time, when he came to the department on the same day, the man said that he was helped faster because he had already asked for help earlier. “They came to me pretty soon, but there were people who were there from noon and were only approached at night,” he said. “They were outraged,” he added.

The boy was diagnosed with pneumonia, given medication and released. According to the father, the child is better. “But I had to go twice to fix the problem,” he rages.

Lack of doctors in the hospital

According to the boy’s father, there are not enough doctors in the hospital, who saw only one specialist while he was in the department. “They don’t have the money to pay for more doctors, it’s outrageous,” he says, complaining about the neglect of the healthcare industry.

However, he emphasized the efforts of the doctors who work in the hospital. According to the man, the doctor who treated his son on Wednesday evening (24 years old) was a good professional.

In addition, the demand was so great that the doctor went out of his way to help. “I was flying inside the hospital, I looked like an athlete,” he notes.

Children Hospital

Report no data+ appealed to the SES with a request to comment on the situation in the hospital, but did not receive a response with a position until 13:00 this Friday. The space remains open.

The Children’s Hospital suffers from high attendance, which causes complaints from those who apply for services. Earlier this week, the state government announced that 48 specialists had been hired to work at the Joana de Gusmão Children’s Hospital.

The overcrowding situation affects hospitals in all regions of Santa Catarina. As the SES (Secretary of State for Health) recently announced, there has been an increase in cases of respiratory illnesses in the state, resulting in an increase in consultations.

SC without pediatric ICU beds

All beds in the pediatric intensive care unit are occupied in Santa Catarina, according to the SES ICU bed panel updated at 11:00 a.m. Friday (26).

The state has 120 active beds in the pediatric sector and vacancies have been filled in all regions. The Ministry of Health said respiratory illnesses have increased the need for children’s hospital beds and have overwhelmed the healthcare system.

Faced with a shortage of beds, the state is seeking vacancies in the private sector to meet the demand of child patients. In addition, he announced that two job advertisements were open for staff at the Joan de Gusmão Children’s Hospital and at the San José Regional Hospital.

“It is worth noting that until now, patients are absorbed by the system in the state and everyone is provided with full assistance,” the folder says.

This Friday morning, 17 intensive care beds were available in Santa Catarina hospitals. Most of the total number (14 beds) is intended for adults. Three more are beds for newborns in the intensive care unit.
