Patients at the Paulino Werneck Municipal Health Center on Governor’s Island found themselves in the middle of a muddle of confusion this morning (10).

While the attendants were in full steam, a truck from Viva Rio, Social Organization responsible for the management of the unit, stopped ahead and the employees were instructed to remove furniture and equipment to be taken to the Newton Alves Cardoso Polyclinic.

The action is part of the municipal health restructuring plan, which, among other things, provides for the dismissal of 184 family health teams.

The shout was great, and residents of the region rushed to trigger local politicians – including the deputy mayor of the City Council and co-religionist of the mayor Marcelo Crivella (PRB), Tânia Bastos.

In a publication on Facebook, the girl thanked the intervention of the Secretary of Health, Ana Beatriz Busch, so that the change – without notice – was suspended and the activities of attendance returned to normal.

And put the confusion in the OS account.

Already, Vivo Rio, about to leave the management of Paulino Werneck, says that he acted at the behest of the city hall itself, through the Health Coordination of the Program Area – and that, under contract, could not disobey the orders. source: articlesonhealth.net
