Explanation of the article:
The article discusses the importance of ensuring essential levels of healthcare, reorganizing hospital facilities, providing professional maternity care with appropriate equipment, reimbursing expenses for healthcare mobility for both patients and caregivers, addressing emergencies and incentivizing doctors, and saving resources through technology. There is a call for a comprehensive law for minor islands, with a draft already presented in March 2023, and an institutional input coming from the 21st national congress of the Anspi, a national association of healthcare for small islands, which gathered experts to address common issues and redesign innovative models for a fair and uniform healthcare system.
The article also mentions specific measures proposed in a bill to improve healthcare, such as the continuous presence of emergency doctors, nurses, and equipment, connections to specialized centers, services for primary care, chronic diseases, cancer patients, and dialysis patients, as well as salary increases and career progression for medical and healthcare staff, training and updates, including telemedicine. Regions and healthcare companies will have to detail the regulations and develop actions to solve remaining issues in island healthcare.
The president of Anspi emphasizes the distinction between equality and equity in healthcare, advocating for guidelines that prioritize fairness.
