The Honduran government bought seven mobile hospitals in Turkey between March and April 2020, at a cost of $ 47.4 million, but so far only two operate, one in Tegucigalpa and another in San Pedro Sula, In the north of the country.
The remaining five hospitals will operate in hospitals in the south, east, west and the Caribbean region of the nation, although it is not known when.

Working in mobile hospitals is “signing your death”
“In the face of the inability of those who handle the situation (of pandemic), I think there are legitimately no guarantees of care in care centers, and if they are going to force people to work in these cans, these containers (mobile hospitals) then people are not willing to work, because they know it is to sign his death, “Figueroa emphasized.
He said that working in mobile hospitals “is to ensure that they acquired the infection, because they do not serve to treat patients with COVID-19[feminine“.

Els metges van exigir a més “la sortida” de la ministra hondurenya de Salut, Alba Consuelo Flors, i dels integrants de la taula Multisectorial per considerar que “valida els actes de govern” i, a més, “només representen els interessos de sectors i grups privilegiats”.
Figueroa va recordar la “responsabilitat per mandat constitucional” de l’Estat de garantir la vacuna contra la covid-19 a tota la població.
“El poble hondureny ha d’aixecar-se i estar amb nosaltres exigint vacunes, sinó ens morirem sense que aquí passi res, tret que instàncies internacionals vinguin, donin suport i mirin la violació de drets humans que està passant al país “, va emfatitzar la presidenta de l’CMH.
Pandèmia fora de control
“L’epidèmia està fora de control, les mesures preses pel Govern no són encertades, tot el contrari, van en contra del que la ciència dicta que és el correcte fer en una epidèmia”, va dir a periodistes Balbino Cárcamo, un dels metges que va participar en la plantada davant de l’Hospital d’Occident.
Va denunciar que els hospitals no tenen “equip adequat” per a atendre els pacients i “molt menys per a la protecció de el personal de salut”.
“El Govern ens ha ficat descaradament amb el tema de les vacunes” contra la covid-19, ha indicat l’especialista, que va lamentar que els aspirants a càrrecs d’elecció popular continuïn convocant a activitats proselitistes enmig de l’emergència sanitària.
