The brake on the delivery of medicines that depended on organizations and programs that, before the assumption of Javier Milei, were in the orbit of the Ministry of Social Development of the Nation continues to generate anguish and uncertainty in many patientswho, since December, stopped receiving essential remedies to stay alive.
In this framework, different groups that bring together patients and relatives of people suffering from critical illnesses presented, in Buenos Aires, an appeal for protection in the federal administrative litigation court No. 7so that Justice can intervene and recover the delivery of drugs.
Among these groups is the Argentine Alliance of Patients Civil Association (Alapa), the Argentine Mucopolysaccharidosis Association (Ama), the SOSTEN Civil Associationthe Entrelazando Esperanza Foundation, the Grupo Economía Positivo Foundation and the Civil Association We will arrive on time.
The biggest problem is registered with the Directorate of Direct Assistance for Special Situations (Dadse), which It provided coverage to those who suffered from serious or rare chronic diseases and They lack social work coverage or have problems accessing them. They They receive treatment with very specific medication, that is found outside the vademecum of the National and Provincial Drug Bank. Therefore, they depend on this organization for their management and delivery.
“We want the operation of Dadse to be guaranteed, to be given a sufficient budget and to normalize the delivery of medicines. For that They have to designate authorities and sanction an effective procedure to quote purchases, since no file can delay. When it took office, this government spoke of the need to audit this direction. But that does not mean that they stop the shipments that keep thousands of patients alive,” said one of the spokespersons for the aforementioned groups.
Yesterday afternoon, these associations held a press conference at the national congress to talk about the resource that they presented, that rose last Friday.
«We are looking for a response from Justice, because we want it to support us in this request, since We will not endure being subjected to further delays. Health is at stake and, in these months that we spent without the medicines on which our health depends, several of us left. “We need deliveries to be restored,” they said, with anguish.
