Abdon Gonçalves: address requesting the construction of a federal general hospital in the proximity of via dutra, in baixada fluminense (hospital in São João De Meriti & hospital of possession, new often):
" Mr. President, gentlemen. Members, we have been insisting on this
Gallery, in order for the government to turn its attention to baixada fluminense, where the problem of medical assistance is really calamitous.
The insists on maintaining a poor understanding through
With Small and medium-sized health homes, not all well enough, which requires, in the most serious cases, the removal of the patient to the city of Rio de Janeiro, with serious risks to life.
We believe that it is time to build a general hospital, in baixada fluminense, as well as a base hospital in the surroundings of the dutra highway, a place of easy access for the municipalities of nova iguaçu, Saint John of meriti, nilópolis, duque de caxias. Itaguai, paracambi and magé, can also provide service to the South-Fluminenses communities.
So far mr. Minister of welfare and social assistance
Do not care to attend our complaints, did not realize the serious problem that is the baixada fluminense. Therefore, the appeals of an entire population, who suffer the anguish of seeing themselves, are not considered, despite much contributing to the coffers of the mpas and the national farm.
The Municiplos of baixada fluminense add up to 1/40 of the Brazilian population. It is the most dense region of the state of Rio de Janeiro and the entire Brazilian East-South. It is not understood, therefore, the abandonment to which it is abandoned, in this sector of assistance, particularly in respect of that provided by the government pension system.
On the other hand, the state, involved in its multiple diflculdades, does not feel its responsibility to promote the siringali of an infrastructure that will overcome these standoffs, bringing tranquility to the millions of residents of baixada fluminense. And in this climate of despair and uncertainty, we only have to appeal to. Mr. President of the Republic, Gen. Ernesto Geisel, in the sense that he allows the construction of the general hospital that the population of baixada fluminense has long been waiting for the ministry of welfare and social assistance nothing is waiting, behold, little has been obtained from the president, however, it is expected to Order to refuse, able to drown the despair of millions of workers in that region of my state.
Hence the appeal we make directly to the head of executive power, in the sense that s. Ex." determine the construction, through the ministry of welfare and social assistance, at least a basic hospital. With Ready-help, intensive treatment center and all the respective clinics currently necessary, including for service to the polytrauma, since road and work accidents are repeated with a lot of attendance in baixada fluminense.
That's what I had to say."
