ESAMEA for the cancer patient committed suicide: The operation of the NRA leads chronic death sufferers

The news that one in Crete put an end to life because his chemotherapy medication did not come and caused the reaction of the National Federation of People with Disabilities (ESAMEA). “The operation of the National Health System leads chronic sufferers to death,” says ESAMEA about the tragic incident in Heraklion, where a 72-year-old reportedly ended his life last Sunday while waiting for the medicine he needed to do chemotherapy. The National Confederation of Persons with Disabilities (ESAMEA) expresses its indignation at the functioning of the National Health System. “Our co-human, cancer-path from Heraklion, Crete, unable to manage the sufferings to which the decisions of the Ministry of Health, EOPY and EOF put him, ended up in vain,” says the Confederation press release. “It is inconceivable in 2024, a drug with active substance Etoposide, used to treat certain neoplastic diseases, which trade eight different pharmaceutical companies worldwide and at an average commercial price of 11 euros, to circulate in our country only via IFETs, so only through private pharmacies,” the ESAMEA stresses, indicating that “the nurses in the NSS die! “ It’s just that I’ve been thinking. ” “Why don’t all drug categories go through negotiation? Why don’t state pharmacies have all the drugs? Why do they assign the introduction of drugs to IFT at unrealistic prices?”, he continues. The Conspiracy requires the Ministry of Health to act directly “with real projects”. “There is no more patience, today it is exhausted,” he says. It also requires research and accountability as well as the initiation of procedures for the negotiation of all categories of medicinal products, as well as the inclusion in state pharmacies of all medicinal and consumable health materials.
