When care in a hospital is not good, there can be serious consequences, both for patients and for the health system in general. Riobambeños talk about the quality of care provided by the Ecuadorian Social Security Institute (IESS).
Testimony. “When I have come, sometimes the doctors are there and sometimes they are not. In an emergency it is chaos, sometimes they come at four or five in the morning and they don’t attend, even until 9 or 10 in the morning. If one approaches it is because it hurts and something could happen. The attention is not good, they put a green or yellow handle and with that you are sitting there for a long time” said an anonymous person who was waiting at the door of the IESS.
Important. Sometimes you have to pay at the IESS and apart from that, on the other hand, poor care can negatively affect the health of patients, causing delays in diagnosis and adequate treatment, which can worsen health conditions or even put lives in danger. Therefore, there are citizens who opt for private clinics, which would represent an extra expense in their pocket, taking into account that insurance contributions are constantly being made, precisely with the objective of receiving quality medical care.
Attention. “The truth is, sometimes I prefer to go private, because I already lost a daughter and I don’t risk the same thing happening again, but it hurts to pay and pay again in the insurance too, that’s where it’s difficult, but everything to save life” pronounced a middle-aged woman, while waiting for attention with her little one.
