The Alhama de Murcia Councilor for Health, Rosa Sánchez, explained today that "the municipality's non-assistance ambulance, which was in charge of carrying out non-urgent transfers and those of those people who did not have a means of transport, has been referred to another municipality, which requested through a plenary agreement that it be provided with this vehicle, "as reported by the Alhameño City Council in a statement."Being aware of the situation, both Mayor Mariola Guevara and I asked the Murcian Health Service (SMS) for information about the reasons for this displacement, but as of today we have not obtained a response nor do we know if the measure has character permanent or not, "said Sánchez. The City Council shows its discomfort with this decision: "we understand that if another municipality requests a transfer ambulance from the SMS, it will be provided with it and this need is covered, but what we do not understand is that it is at the cost of removing it from another locality, in this case Alhama de Murcia, with what this entails, such as a longer waiting time for the arrival of this vehicle, increasing the risk to the health of our neighbors ", highlights the councilor."Now a single ambulance has to serve many more inhabitants.
What the Autonomous Community has to do is invest in health and provide more resources to the municipalities and not undress a saint to dress another," he says.
