“A little is a lot”
During the second part of the note in No Te Duermas, Walter Gonzalez delved into the solidarity health program that he carries out with the Barrios de Pie movement: “This is generated as a solidarity care program for those who need it. Those who pay a solidarity fee have the advantage of being treated in specialized places, we find pharmacies that understand solidarity and give a 40 percent discount on boxed medicines and 20 percent for ethical ones that already come with brands from renowned laboratories. This is in six or seven pharmacies.”
“For these people who have nothing, you give them urgent solidarity care, specialist care when necessary according to what is diagnosed in solidarity landings and the possibility of discounts and it is a lot. For those who have nothing, a little is a lot,” he added.
At the same time, he added that “it is done by the 17 de noviembre cooperative that belongs to the Barrios de Pie organization” and that “even though I have my own party, I do not stop sharing with them that they have a different organization.”
“The main thing is the care of the child from one month of age to 13 years and of the elderly who have PAMI and other social works but who due to ignorance, social economic situations and multiple factors, do not know how to use the much that social works have for the benefit of their health,” he assured.
The work together with PAMI and other social works
In line with the latter, he added: “If there is no work here by health agents to help people, the plan is useless. This is a solidarity plan, it is not free because health is expensive. Having resources or capacity, what I do is give it to those who need it at a low cost.”
“We were talking with the people who currently manage PAMI who had an excellent predisposition and with the people who are working on giving solutions to the elderly, they offered me total openness. The idea is to also work with retirement centers, we are doing a matter of social work with part of the state and part of the business like the one I am in,” he described.
He then said that “setting up a call center can be very expensive for them and I, having a structure, only have to set up something administrative at a low cost and give the elderly the possibility of calling me by phone if they do not know how to ask for an ambulance and I will send it. Or that they send me complaints of mistreatment in clinics and I will send them an agent.”
The health situation in La Matanza
At the end of the talk, the doctor lamented: “The elderly in the back of La Matanza, passing Camino de Cintura, do not know where to go, do not know who their primary care physician is, do not know that they have an electronic prescription and that they have to give them all their medicines for free, they do not respect their turn, they are all pale.”
“What we have to say, even if it hurts us, is that health in La Matanza is terrible, whether it is private or public. We are a population of two and a half million inhabitants with a terrible health structure, with money that went anywhere but to public health,” he said.
To conclude, he pointed out that “most private companies think about their own pockets first in order to survive, because health is not a business, today the clinics are on the verge of collapse and bankruptcy” and that “if the AFIP intimidates us like the rest of the SMEs, we will all go bankrupt”.
