AGENCIAS | MADRID La ministra de Sanidad y Pol?tica Social, Trinidad Jim?nez defendi? ayer la "correcta" gesti?n de la pandemia de gripe A por parte de la OMS y asegur? que Espa?a "se limit? a seguir las recomendaciones" de este organismo, algo a lo que "obliga" el reglamento sanitario internacional. Jim?nez se?al? que el nuevo virus produjo "en torno a 300" fallecimientos en Espa?a y que cerca del 30% de la poblaci?n "ha podido pasar" la enfermedad, aunque sea de manera "muy leve", apunt? Jim?nez.
La titular de Sanidad asegura que la Organizaci?n Mundial de la Salud actu? correctamente con las medidas de precauci?n promovidas ante la gripe A, "un virus nuevo sobre el que hab?a gran incertidumbre". "No podemos perder de vista la realidad de que exist?a un virus nuevo y hab?a dudas sobre su comportamiento, su tratamiento y que estaba extendido por todos los pa?ses", se?al? ayer en Bruselas. En cuanto a las acusaciones de algunos sectores que vinculan la "excesiva alarma" de la OMS con intereses farmac?uticos, Jim?nez inst? a esperar los resultados de las investigaciones que se van a realizar desde el Consejo de Europa.
A nivel estatal, Jim?nez aclar? que s?lo se han administrado tres millones de vacunas. Por ello rechaz? "rotundamente" que hayan pesado los intereses de las farmac?uticas en el n?mero de vacunas que Espa?a ha adquirido y sostuvo que la decisi?n de reservar dosis para el 30% de la poblaci?n es la misma que se aplica a la gripe estacional. "Las autoridades nunca tuvimos contacto con empresas farmac?uticas m?s que los obligados para firmar los contratos relativos a la reserva de vacunas. Las autoridades espa?olas actuamos con correcci?n y proporcionalidad a la situaci?n que est?bamos viviendo", resumi?.
Sobre la incidencia de la gripe estacional, la ministra indic? que en 2009 fue "desplazada" por el virus de la gripe A y que apenas tuvo una prevalencia del "4 o 5%" frente al 95% del nuevo virus. "No sabemos lo que puede pasar en el futuro, a lo mejor la gripe A ha llegado para instalarse", concluy?.
Por otra parte, los m?dicos tienen claro que la alerta sanitaria contra la gripe A ha permitido salvar a tres de cada cuatro pacientes graves que, a causa de este nuevo virus, han pasado por las Unidades de Cuidados Intensivos (UCIs) de Espa?a. Esto es lo que sostiene el presidente de la Sociedad Espa?ola de Medicina Intensiva, Cr?tica y Unidades Coronarias (Semicyuc), Crist?bal Le?n, quien hizo ayer balance de los datos reportados por 144 hospitales espa?oles en los que, desde junio, han sido atendidos 872 pacientes graves a causa del H1N1.
Los profesionales de las UCIs no comparten las cr?ticas a la actuaci?n de las autoridades sanitarias contra la infecci?n, vertidas desde muchos ?mbitos.

AGENCIES | MADRID Minister for Health and Social Policy, Trinidad Jimenez yesterday defended the "correct" management of pandemic influenza by the WHO and said that Spain "simply followed the recommendations" of the agency, something that "forces" the international health regulations. Jimenez said the new virus was "around 300" deaths in Spain and that nearly 30% of the population "could pass" the disease, albeit "very slight" said Jimenez.
The owner of Health says the World Health Organization was right with the precautionary measures promoted to influenza A, "a new virus for which there was great uncertainty." "We can not lose sight of the fact that there was a new virus and there were doubts about his behavior, his treatment and was spread throughout the country," he said yesterday in Brussels. As for the accusations of some sectors that link the "undue alarm" WHO with pharmaceutical interests, Jimenez urged to await the results of investigations to be made from the Council of Europe.
Statewide, Jimenez clarified that only three million have been administered vaccines. Therefore rejected "categorically" that have weighed the interests of drug in the number of vaccines that Spain has acquired and maintained that the decision to reserve doses for 30% of the population is the same that applies to seasonal influenza. "The authorities never had contact with pharmaceutical companies that required to sign contracts for the stockpile. The Spanish authorities acted correctly and proportionality to the situation we were experiencing," she summarized.
The effect of seasonal flu, the minister indicated that in 2009 was "displaced" by the influenza virus A, which barely had a prevalence of "4 or 5%" compared with 95% of the new virus. "We don't know what can happen in the future, maybe influenza A has come to settle," he concluded.
Moreover, doctors are clear that the health warning against influenza A has saved three of four critically ill patients who, because of this new virus, have gone through intensive care units (ICUs) in Spain. This is what sustains the president of the Spanish Society of Intensive Care, Critical and Coronary Units (Semicyuc), Christopher Leon, who took stock yesterday of the data reported by 144 Spanish hospitals where, since June, 872 patients have been treated difficulties because of H1N1.
ICU professionals do not share the criticism of the performance of health authorities against infection, is discharged from many areas.
