El Hospital de Dénia and the associations of Marina Alta They held their IV Patient Council this afternoon. The act began with the welcome of the Managing Director of the Department of Health of Dénia -DSD-, Dr. Javier Palau, who has exposed the resolution of the requests raised in the previous council, held last October.
Dr. Palau has also highlighted the benefits of working as a team and in a transversal way, through the Ribera group, which has been managing the Dénia Health Department for more than a year. "In that period, Javier Palau has added, Dénia has been incorporated into the large areas of La Mama and Corazón de Ribera, which is undoubtedly a great benefit for the citizens of the Marina Alta. Without going any further, Palau assured, the idea of this patient forum was born at the Hospital de Torrejón de Ardoz, another health center of the Group”.
Along the same lines, the Director of Quality, Juan Manuel Lacalle, has exposed the work that is being carried out with the associations, from the Patient Council, in the preparation of a map of health resources in the region. “It is a catalog of available health resources, Lacalle has assured; from services provided by health institutions, to the work carried out by associations, foundations or other types of entities that can represent a health asset for the residents of the region”.
Map of health resources in the Marina Alta
The map of resources that is being worked on has been organized around the most frequent clinical processes and the patient associations of the Marina Alta actively participate in it.
For her part, the Director of Care, Natalia Casado, has listed the health humanization initiatives that the Dénia Health Department has, such as the cuidArt project with permanent art therapy and music therapy workshops. Collaborations are also carried out with institutions, associations and entities, such as the last one carried out with Centro Comercial Portal de la Marina. Thanks to the challenge promoted by the entity, the intervention of the Observation Room of the Emergency Service has been financed, in which admitted patients can contemplate photographs with different skies of the Marina Alta on the ceiling.
The IV Patient Council has ended with the Presentation of the activity of the Dénia Red Cross, by Pablo Valero, Technical Director of the Local Board.
A condition that has clearly deteriorated is being celebrated here!
In two identical surgeries 4 years ago and last year the differences were noticeable.
4 years ago everything was fine: organizational processes, care, hospital care and even food.
Last year, after the operation, my wife was not taken to the recovery room, but directly to the room. They forgot to put up the sides of the bed and my wife fell out of bed under the anesthesia. She lay bleeding on the floor for hours and was not discovered.
I had to pay for care and food.
Celebrate? No, there is an assault there!
All very well for the gallery, but what about the waiting lists for a medical appointment, to be able to have a diagnosis with its corresponding treatment? What about the surgery department? Those of us who are waiting months what do we do? Applaud?
