Child Cancer patients receiving chemotherapy in hospital corridors in Oporto!!

Children with cancer receive chemotherapy in the corridors

Parents complain about the conditions in which their children 

receive chemotherapy treatments in the corridors 

of S.João and Joãozinho Hospital in Oporto. 

Pediatric chemotherapy 

in an outpatient clinic at the Hospital of S. João, Porto, 

is being done in a corridor. 

This is one of the many complaints that the parents,

 of children with oncological disease 

have pointed out and have already brought to the attention

of the Administration of the Hospital Center. 

The lack of conditions extends to the Joãozinho's unit, 

where children are referred to, when they have to be hospitalized. 

This Health Unit has been functioning in containers 

outside the central hospital building, for almost ten years. 

Despite the bad conditions,

 parents understand that the health professionals 

are doing everything possible

to give the best treatment to these children.

The construction of the new pediatric ward 

has been halted for the last two years.

According to Jorge Pires, the father of a teenager in treatment,

"The children who had just had a chemotherapy session, 

have to share the elevators with the garbage bins 

and the cleaning trolleys are placed next to the food trolleys," 

adding that he has sent several emails to the hospital administration.

Patricia Ferraz, the mother of another child with cancer, 

says that when the children need hospitalization, 

they have to wait four and five hours for an ambulance 

"without any hygienic conditions" 

to take the children to Joãozinho, 

which could be done "in a few minutes".

Another mother, Marlene Pinho, 

said that if the situation in the chemotherapy zone 

in the outpatient clinic "is chaotic", 

and when it is necessary to hospitalize the children 

the situation is a thousand times more serious. 

"It shouldn't be permitted

 that children in isolation, 

are kept in rooms with holes in the walls."

The Portuguese Health system is in TOTAL chaos!!

Mr Centeno is a brilliant economist , 

who gathers praise in Brussels, 

but in Portugal, 

all public services are falling apart. 

There are no conditions, the roads are full of potholes, 

112 people burnt to death just a few months ago, 

because Civil Protection didn't react for SIX terrible hours, 

the communication system have failed 

and people were just left to save themselves, 

with the most tragic results.

The Socialist- Communist government of Costa 

is a redundunt failure, 

the "fat Cats" are getting fatter, 

family and friends are favoured, 

and wide-spread corruption is rife!

Vote for them again in 2019!!

VOTE FOR MORE CHAOS!!
