São Paulo State Civil Service Hospital has crowded corridors, patients with flu-like symptoms lie on the floor and are late to get care | Sao Paulo

At the São Paulo State Civil Personnel Hospital, south of Sao Paulo, patients complain of a lack of doctors, capacity, and delays in care. People who sought care with flu-like symptoms were lying in corridors and even on the floor due to a lack of space.

Between Wednesday afternoon (22) and Thursday morning (23), many people gathered in waiting rooms waiting for help. With the delay, many have given up going to the doctor and gone home.

In addition to the population chaos, there have also been complaints about the care of some workers in the health unit.

“I saw people who arrived at 7 am. [Os funcionários] They even treat people who are lying on the floor and sitting on the bench very badly, because they are really bad ”, complains one of the patients.

The lady who had been waiting more than two hours to pass the examination also felt sorry. “There is only one nurse attending the triage and three doctors, and there are a lot of people inside,” he said.

School organizer Roslyn Aparecida escorted a patient who was trying to enter the hospital and had been waiting for hours. “I have already come with a paper for hospital treatment and have not been admitted to hospital yet. Complete disregard.”

At UPA Santo Amaro and UPA Vila Mariana, also in the southern region, the scenario of overcrowding and delays in service also repeated. One patient recorded photos inside the UPA Vila Mariana that also show a patient lying on the floor while waiting.
