The health crisis in Amazonas continues, and professionals are forced to work without pay.
The governor only guaranteed payment of debts to medical companies, but cooperatives still have no payment schedule.
247 - The governor of Amazonas, Wilson Lima, promised, during a meeting on Monday (19), that he would make the payment to medical companies that have been without receiving payments for months. However, cooperatives of nurses, technicians and other professionals from multidisciplinary teams complain about the absence of proposals for the payment of overdue salaries.
The Amazonas Nurses Cooperative (Coopeam) claims that it has tried to schedule several meetings with the State Health Secretariat (SES) to discuss the debts, but the meetings were canceled at least three times by the executive secretary, Ms. Marla Almeida de San Martin.
In a statement to the press, the Director-Secretary of Coopeam, Jucinei Souza Silva, stated that the cooperatives, some with employees who have not been paid for more than seven months, are being portrayed as "villains," but that they have not received any funds from the government or even a response from the SES (State Health Secretariat).
