UPN accused Department of Health of the Government of Navarre of “replace face-to-face care by the specialist dermatology patients exchange photos that doctors in health centers must send.” Thus, he stressed that “since yesterday, Health has imposed, with the refusal of frontline professionals, that patients are not referred in person, forcing them to replace a patient’s face-to-face consultation with the dermatologist by sending a photo“.
“And what is more serious is done without respecting the patient’s right to be treated in personif that is your will and if you need it, and also without medical consent,” the UPN said in a note, in which it assures that “the Ministry of Health completely cancels the clinical judgment of the primary care physician and his ability to refer patients who, in their opinion, require a direct evaluation by a dermatologist.
According to the UPN, “the measure only concerns primary care physicians, and not other physicians, which represents a professional discredit which was taken without their approval.” In the opinion of the regionalists, “the measure compromises adequate care and personalized for patients.” “It is unsuitable for a warranty systemefficient and quality,” he added.
The Foralist Party considers the action “within the framework of the functioning of Makeup started out of desperation to remove people from waiting lists without being seen by the specialist and faced with the inability to reduce the numbers that continue to set historical records with 70,840 patients waiting for an appointment with the specialist.” “Not like that, Mrs. Chivite. “This government only cares about reducing the number of waiting lists at all costs, without thinking about the patient and without respecting the criteria of the treating physician,” he said.
