The "Mother Teresa" University Hospital Center has reacted to the Democratic Party's claim that doctors are required to perform tests only for urgent cases, while the rest are left for next month after the 'financial ceiling' set in the contract with the concessionaire that performs the tests has been reached.
QSUNT says that the DP's claim is untrue and unfounded.
" The laboratory service at the QSUT continues without any interruption, guaranteeing the performance of tests for patients every day according to their medical needs," the QSUT's response states.
The full response of the "Mother Teresa" University Hospital Center:
Following some published news about the interruption of laboratory service at the "Mother Teresa" University Hospital Center, we clarify that:
This news is false and unfounded. The laboratory service at the QSUT continues without any interruption, guaranteeing the performance of tests for patients every day according to their medical needs.
Internal staff communication emails, which have been interpreted incorrectly, are not related to the service interruption, but to:
-correct compliance with clinical protocols and algorithms for the frequency of laboratory tests according to pathologies, as well as efficient management of allocated costs and budgets, in accordance with hospital administration practices.
We emphasize that the daily volume of analyses and the daily expenses carried out are data accessible to anyone interested in the interest of transparency, so we invite anyone to contact the official QSUNT channels.
The spread of fake news and misinterpretation of official communications creates unnecessary panic among the population and undermines trust in our services. Therefore, we demand that all information be interpreted and transmitted correctly.
