Ultramar discontinued free tickets for urgent medical care
Ultramar puso en riesgo la vida de tres personas. [+] Ver masFull article at this link
Not only has Ultramar ferry company suspended its agreement with the DIF social service agency to provide free tickets to islanders with disabilities, it has also discontinued the similar agreement with the Red Cross to provide transport for patients needing urgent care, according to islanders who were affected Wednesday night.
Three patients arrived by Red Cross ambulance, and employees would not provide free tickets for them, nor for the doctor who was attending them, saying they were following instructions from their supervisors. One patient had a respiratory problem, another had peritonitis, and the problem of the third person was not specified. They requested assistance from the maritime ambulance that is operated by APIQRoo for transport to Puerto Juarez.
The company has alleged that it cannot continue paying the "high costs" of fees on the tickets required by the Port Authority (APIQRoo), claiming they are up to ten pesos per ticket. Howevery the Director of the Maritime Terminal in Isla Mujeres, Elena Ríos Fernández, said they barely pay the 50 centavos per passenger.
This because Ultramar has a special ten year agreement that was signed in 2011 under a previous APIRQRoo Director, so they only pay a 'symbolic iguala' (token payment) each month, while the new ferry companies pay one pesos per passenger from Quintana Roo and five pesos per tourist.
(In yesterday's article, it explained that Ultramar's special agreement allows them to pay 50 centavos per passenger during some months and 25 centavos during the rest of the year.)
Previously, during the hours when the ferries are running, the sick and injured were transported to Cancun hospitals for free, but now they must pay. After midnight and during the early hours, the maritime ambulance operated by APIQRoo is used.
Complaints about the ISSSTE clinic in Isla Mujeres
Problemas en el ISSSTE de Isla Mujeres
While the Director of the Family Medicine Unit (UMF) of the Institute of Security and Social Services for State Workers (ISSSTE) of Isla Mujeres is on vacation, there is no doctor available to see patients in the morning, since currently there is only one doctor when normally there are two. There have also been complaints about lack of medicines. (This article is incomplete with the 'jump' cut off.)
