In the debate held this Saturday in the RTP/Azores with Duarte Freitas, of the PSD, the presidential candidate of the Block said that it is necessary to attract more doctors to the region through investment in the careers and a wage policy more attractive.
Referring to the weaknesses of the Regional Health Service (SRS) who has been unable to secure a family doctor to all of the azoreans, Zuraida Soares said that it is “necessary dialogue” that involves the Order of Doctors, the regional government, the nurses and the unions of the industry to understand where it is that “we are to err in placing doctors in our region”.
"It’s just a matter of monetary, career, training available in the different specialities for physicians", he asked the coordinator of the Block Azores, to then refer that you do not have doubts that we are the "err on any side" up because the support economic are not so "scarce, as small as this."
"If we do the accounts to the costs that this lack of doctors has for the Regional Health Service (SRS), we realize that it is essential to invest in careers, training and providing logistical to promote the establishment of doctors," he said.
Zuraida Soares he also referred to the fact that the hospital is the most expensive area to the SRS but it’s for the hospitals that “all our patients are pushed because the health centres are not open at 7 o’clock to meet an emergency situation”.
Faced with this situation, the candidate bloquista said to be necessary to pay attention to the costs related with the overload of hospitals, on the extra hours that are the result of the lack of doctors, the wear of the staff, to fatigue, to saturation and to the medical error because people are human.
“All of this has costs that join the low salaries making it difficult, in this way, the possibility of having more doctors in the Azores", he underlined, having added that " it is necessary to have a wage policy that leads to the doctors that form to come to the region instead of leaving for a foreign country where right at the beginning of their activity, they gain much more”.
A new economic paradigm
with regard to the economic development of the Azores, Zuraida Soares began by stating that in the Block program there is the intention to implement a “new paradigm” for the region’s economy by putting, in this way, an end to the old model ‘based on products with low added value, low diversification, the insistence on monoculture and low wages”.
"This is the model that we have," said the candidate to then claim that it is necessary to walk to have an economy “based on knowledge, research and technology all here due to increase the ability to generate wealth.”
"we Have to attract companies that bring products with added value and that they can take advantage of the knowledge of the International Centre of the Sciences of the Sea," he said.
The candidate bloquista stressed the need for these companies to come to the Azores to drink the “our knowledge and pay it”, referring to the fact that it is also important the establishment of partnerships that could create jobs.
"we Talk about qualified work and not jobs, poorly paid, based on a monoculture with little value," he said, and added that "it is important to capitalise on the port of Praia da Vitória and the Base of the Slabs to deploy a logistics platform of support to the civil aviation and maritime transport”.
"The knowledge that is here produced is our and so are we that we should share with the world and we should not accept the coming of a branch whose sole purpose is to exploit our riches,” he said.
Following this reasoning, Zuraida Soares also stated that “it is time, for the first time, look for this region and for its riches endogenous and do something with them, for us and for us".
