Once again, the Comodoro Rivadavia Regional Hospital is in the news again for the
disappearance of vaccines
against the coronavirus: it is about five doses of Sputnik V that in a still confused situation disappeared from the vaccination center adjacent to the hospital where they were kept together with another quantity important dose.
This time, the abduction was denounced by the same personnel from the so-called South Programmatic Area and
involves hierarchical personnel
.
The main suspicion is that the vaccines would have disappeared on May 10 and the complaint of the missing was only known in recent days despite the fact that federal judge Eva Parcio was already investigating the issue. Trade unionists from the State Workers Association were the ones who raised the alarm to
"define responsibilities of hospital workers
.
"
The truth is that the information ensures that the doses "were withdrawn by hierarchical personnel without respecting any protocol and without knowing their destination."
Last January, the hospital made headlines for the theft of 30 doses of coronavirus vaccines. The investigation, carried out first by the provincial justice and later passed to the federal jurisdiction, determined that the doses had been extracted by
a nurse
who had access to the place where they were stored. And that the same were destined to the personnel of the Social Work of the Truckers, to members of the leadership of the union and some of their relatives. For this fact, there are
24 defendants
, among them the general secretary of the Chubut Truckers Union, Jorge Taboada.
Now this new missing has been detected.
And again the complaint was made a long time later.
With the aggravation that although in the place where the vaccines are there are security cameras, they
keep the recorded material for only three days
.
Therefore, there is very little that the images can contribute.
Roberto Romero, Health personnel and ATE leader said that "the workers who discovered the lack of vaccines were transferred from their workplaces to other sectors" and assured that "the cause began when hierarchical personnel withdrew doses of vaccines without following any protocol or knowing their destination ”.
The silence that the Federal Court manages in all cases makes it impossible for the community to know what happened to the doses.
The
security of the hospital
in the oil city is in the middle of the controversy.
To the theft of the 30 doses in January and the disappearance of these 5 from Sputnik V, we must add the subtraction of a large number of pills of an anxiolytic (clonazepam) denounced days ago and of other gynecological drugs.
The
robbery story
began a few years ago when someone took a large organ that was used for music therapy.
At that time no one saw anything.
And the musical instrument never appeared again.
