La representante popular Sol Higgins Cuadrado informó que en una vista pública del P. de la C. 1424 celebrada ayer, que persigue que en los hospitales haya un protocolo de servicio uniforme para atender casos de accidentes cerebrovasculares o stroke en la isla, no hay quien quiera asumir la culpa de que no hayan servicios o personal para manejar dichos incidentes.

“Yo, en mi ámbito personal, sentí un poco de decepción porque las aseguradoras, todas, coincidieron en que el problema no son ellas […] Todos estamos en el mismo barco queriendo solucionar el problema de salud que hay en Puerto Rico y pareciera que la culpa es huérfana”, señaló la representante.

La legisladora describió que todas las aseguradoras del país citadas que acudieron al encuentro, indicaron que no necesariamente ostentan la culpa del manejo de dichos casos por la falta de profesionales, y la atribuyeron a eventos sociales que afectan al país, como el problema con el acceso a la educación o las condiciones de las carreteras, y a la política gubernamental como tal.

En la vista se informó que el stroke es una de las cinco causas principales de muerte en Puerto Rico, con 39 mil casos anuales y miles de pacientes que culminan siendo personas con diversidad funcional. Asimismo, Higgins Cuadrado destacó que los fallecimientos por la condición ascienden a 800 mil anualmente a nivel de Estados Unidos y Puerto Rico.

Bajo dicho cuadro, la legisladora explicó que la búsqueda de un servicio uniforme en las instituciones hospitalarias va dirigida a crear un comité multisectorial que cree una política publica que dé seguimiento a los casos. Además, resaltó la presencia de estudiantes de enfermería del Recinto de Ciencias Médicas de la Universidad de Puerto Rico quienes, según la representante, presentaron la mejor ponencia para defender la aprobación del proyecto.

“Precisamente, por no tener un protocolo a base de stroke, pues, los hospitales no pueden comprar ciertos medicamentos porque no tienen un programa de stroke en su hospital, así que cuando llega un paciente, hay un medicamento que, probablemente, hay que darlo inmediatamente, pero no existe ese medicamento en el hospital porque el hospital no tiene un protocolo de stroke”.

Asimismo, destacó que con el proyecto las aseguradoras tendrán que explicar por qué hubo un mal manejo de caso en algún incidente cerebrovascular. 

“Este proyecto trae esperanza para comenzar a solucionar los problemas de salud de Puerto Rico”, finalizó Higgins Cuadrado al hacer una petición al ejecutivo para firmar la medida, y asegurar que la misma cuenta con los votos.

Dear Editor, 

The Cabinet of Antigua and Barbuda announced that 12 houses have been completed in Oliver’s out of the 600 homes planned for that area. I live very nearby to the said housing project. I drove to the area where the houses are being built behind of LICS Ltd on All Saints Road yesterday afternoon. 

When I reached and walked the whole area on foot of the housing project, NONE of the houses were completed. I counted 9 houses the walls are coming up from the foundation and also, they were not plastered or painted and they were without windows. The other 3 homes to be constructed are at the foundation stated with the foundation not even casted, they seemed in the process of laying steel, putting in plumbing and laying electrical pipes. 

Furthermore, I noticed that there ALOT more cisterns covered with grass than houses in the foundation state or with the walls coming up from the foundation. I would also like to mention  that in Renfrews we cannot get Government water because this government lied to the people of Olivers at the start of the year in the first Cabinet notes telling them be prepared to experience inconvenience because they are going to be digging up the the roads to lay pipes in that area, and I have driven up to that area where Mr. Wehner did a video by that BIG BLACK TANK in Buckley’s/Olivers and other areas of the Village, and there are no pipes or any digging in that area to lay pipes to give those people a basic human right access to government water. The BIG BLACK TANK on the hill was to gravity feed that area along with Renfrews and the surrounding communities, and to this day nothing has been done.  

I say all this to say the people of this country, NEVER, EVER, BELIEVER, ANYTHING, these people in our government have to say. All they do is tell lies because they know most of the people very gullible and put election handouts before themselves. I advise the people of this country to go and do their own research and see things for themselves before believing anything these LIARS put in their Cabinet notes or announce to the people of this country. 

I am absolutely fed up of Gaston Browne and his LYING cohorts and it is time for a change in the country. 

Alfred,

Disgusted Citizen
