Valter Lima, from Sergipe 247 - Governor Jackson Barreto (PMDB) met with the state Secretary of Health, Joélia Santos, and with directors of the secretariat and foundations, to discuss the overcrowding problems that have intensified in recent days. He denied that there had been any intervention by the secretariat in the control of the foundations and stated that he will travel on Thursday (16) to discuss with Minister Alexandre Padilha (Health) the release of resources for the sector. To Sergipe 247, Jackson also denied that the State had lost the funds from two amendments for the construction of the Cancer Hospital, as has been reported by Senator Eduardo Amorim (PSC).
"We had a meeting to discuss the positions being taken to do preventative work in healthcare. We are having problems with overcrowding in the maternity ward, and we have to work to preserve the lives of the children. I scheduled a trip to Brasília for Thursday to talk to the Minister of Health about the difficult situation in the state," he said.
Careful not to criticize the Aracaju administration, Jackson said that the lack of service at the two main municipal units also overcrowded the Sergipe Emergency Hospital (Huse). "I don't want to accuse the city government, but the problems are serious. The Augusto Franco and Avenida Maranhão units practically didn't provide care in some areas. This creates more difficulties because it overloads Huse, but we are all responsible. We will..." We are looking for a solution, and we know that it all comes down to financial resources." he stated.
The governor denied that there had been a intervention at the Health Hospital Foundation last weekend. "It's not an intervention. Dr. Amintas remains president of the foundation as the law allows him to be. The health secretary took preventive measures," he stressed.
Asked by Sergipe 247 about the information released by Senator Eduardo Amorim Regarding the claim that Sergipe lost resources for the Cancer Hospital, Jackson was ironic. "It's good that Senator Eduardo Amorim goes to work. I've already said he's lazy and I stand by it. Instead of all this blah blah blah, he should work, because that's how people judge. By their work. Eduardo Amorim talks a lot. The resources weren't lost," he stated.
Bellow matter Regarding the meeting of managers of the hospital health network in Sergipe:
FHS management meets with hospital network managers.
The executive board of the Hospital Health Foundation met this Monday, the 13th, with the superintendents of the hospital units.
"We have already visited the units and we want to maintain this routine of dialogue. We intend to hold up to four meetings per semester on an ordinary basis, and as many times as necessary on an extraordinary basis. This is the space for us to assess the difficulties and discuss solutions," stated Hamilton Santana, general director of the Hospital Foundation of Health.
"We have had a transparent and supportive management style, decentralizing autonomy and enabling these savings, which were only possible through measures such as cutting commissioned positions, reviewing contracts, and monitoring purchases, prioritizing the principle of cost-effectiveness," the general director highlighted.
A new inventory control system was also presented, through which it will be possible to view items from requisition to delivery. With this system, it will be possible to identify the actual consumption of each unit, allowing for the purchase of the correct quantity. This system will allow for a thorough understanding of each unit, systematizing the list of most frequently used medications in each one, thus preventing shortages.
The administrative and financial board presented the results of the measures adopted by management since November, which enabled savings that will be reinvested in improvements to the hospital network itself. "In two months, we settled liabilities with more than 300 suppliers. Within our planning, we have set a goal to regularize the supply to the network in the coming months. We are adopting measures that not only solve the immediate problems today, but also address them in a more long-term way," explained André Marques, administrative and financial director of FHS.
"I want to thank the managers and inform them that simple measures are already yielding results, such as the one adopted with the attestation of service provision invoices, also done by the local administration. This measure has already reduced spending on contracts by more than R$ 1 million," he added.
According to Genisete Pereira, superintendent of the Nossa Senhora do Socorro Regional Hospital, "these meetings with local managers and the FHS Executive Board are fundamental, as several issues are resolved or addressed during the meeting itself, which greatly speeds up the effectiveness of the actions."
According to Patrícia Falcão, superintendent of the Dr. Jessé de Andrade Fontes Regional Hospital in Estância, "the meeting is a space to discuss the main problems. Some are the same as those in other units, and the joining of the three directorates makes the process dynamic and effective."
