“They are violating the opponent’s rights». This is the reaction of the vice president of the MIR Association, Alex Mayer, to the decision of the Ministry of Health to leave out of the exam to access the places offered by Specialized Health Training to doctors infected with Covid. Despite the insistence of associations and unions to find a solution so that these people can be examined this Saturday, January 29, Health has given them a clear answer: “Let them show up next year”. “It seems like a comparative offense to us,” confesses Mayer.
In addition, in his opinion no one is going to take a test before the test, «posing things like this is a risk that favors the
people come without taking a test in case of close contact or in case of doubt of being positive ». Even so, he emphasizes that Ómicron causes many infections, but does not cause a serious illness. “The Ministry should have considered that this could happen,” he explains. As a solution see “unfeasible” give another date so that those infected can take the test, “it would have to be different and that would put the opponents in advantage The disadvantage». Instead, he proposes to enable rooms that only the infected can access. However, Health has transferred the “impossibility” of that option alleging that it would put the institution’s staff and other opponents at “risk”. “They do not realize that the real risk is that no one will ‘rub their nose’ before going to the exam, the staff can still get it because there will be asymptomatic positives», confesses the vice-president of the association. «It does not seem acceptable to us that the only option proposed by Health is that they be presented next year. I’m sure all the doctors are having a lot watch out these days for not get infected», ends.
For his part, Jaime Campos, director of the AMIR academy, emphasizes that the instructions that Health has prepared for the test must be followed “these are decisions that have scientific endorsement whether we like it or not.” Like Mayer, he believes that the “only” solution would be to enable specific rooms for those infected, but confesses that he sees it “difficult”. He also thinks that it would not be possible reschedule exam, «it is the same in all communities, the conditions for those who did it later would not be the same». Despite the fact that he “appeals for responsibility”, he insists that if a person were positive he would not attend the test or, at least, I wouldn’t tell anyone.
The Minister of Health, Carolina Darias, insisted yesterday that it is “a unique test” on which she has been working for many months and that, once carried out, is published on the internet, so “the only way to guarantee the fairness is that it is a unique test as it has been throughout history ».
