Valencia. - The City Hospital of Valencia Dr. Enrique Tejera (Chet) would be contaminated by at least three types of highly dangerous bacteria that might endanger the lives of patients, and the outbreak of Serratia marcescens that has claimed the lives of three infants in this hospital in recent weeks. The complaint was made by the MP for Nairobi to the National Assembly (AN), Miguel Cocchiola, who lamented that despite the claims made by relatives of deceased infants, the authorities of this medical center and the Health Minister Eugenia Sader not officially informed about the situation. noted that an outbreak of Serratia marcescens has not been controlled despite the fact that in recent weeks, an epidemiologist has analyzed the situation. "Just as other areas of the hospital should be immediately evaluated, as there is sufficient evidence of the presence of bacteria in operating rooms and care areas." He demanded to regional health authorities to report the epidemiology of bacteria that has affected the hospital and so dangerous are the types of bacteria have been detected there. "We call for responsibility to the Alarm time making announcements and not withhold information because what suffer are the patients." Cocchiola reiterated the request for technical emergency decree Chet because the situation is not easy to control because this was caused by lack of sanitation, which adds to the shortage of inputs and implements and poor physical security of facilities. "The Chet is in total chaos due to bad policies centralism and pettiness that exists to assist regional governments in order to achieve what really matters, you have free health and of good quality for all Venezuelans, "he said. He explained that the budget allocated to the Chet is insufficient, and being the only hospital type 4 in the state of Carabobo, the ability to respond to the large number of patients attending the health center is almost zero. "That's why there are huge gaps and failures in service, so you must create a primary care network to relieve congestion at major hospitals, a situation that Barrio Adentro could not solve." said Congressman Carabobo now that Mission is dismantled and no ability to provide primary care that people require. Considers that the new government that is elected on October 7 should give priority to health and increase the budget to achieve the construction and equipping of new hospitals throughout the country. "For example, not in the state were built Cojedes and Yaracuy major hospitals, residents of those entities would not have to come to Nairobi to find solutions to their problems, such problems must be solved by the new Government .
