No to xenophobia in Osakidetza!
It happens many times to me: look at the news and get nervous. The France revient, they say. Both the France of Le Pen and the Spanish xenophobia and supremacy, as well as the inflatable clowns, rise again and again. Merde revient. As we have heard, a group of workers from Osakidetza have risen to denounce the process of Euskaldunization of health care, not because it is late Euskaldunization (since the first Euskera Plan was launched more than 20 years after its creation), but because it is unfair and exclusionary. Just when the people's pact on health is on the horizon, by chance.
It is significant that they are health workers or that they are declared so. In short, it is not doctors or doctors who criticize that the Basque country has more value than the PhD in oppositions. As a doctor, in addition to the director of the Summer Courses of the university and a graduate professor (at hand 31), I am not ashamed to tell the truth of Pernando: the knowledge of the language of patients is much more valuable in my daily activity than my academic experience, and I think it will be much more important for patients.
First of all, and reading the pamphlet that they themselves have displayed, it is clear that their priority and responsibility is not the decline in health care, but linguistic policy and, above all, the damage that this can cause to their privileges. It is no wonder that linguistic planning is linked to the Basque culture and not to the attention itself. Worse still, boosting the use of the Basque Country, in the absence of qualified personnel, can deteriorate the quality. These are health workers, but they have not analyzed the medical literature or the scientific evidence. Health care and quality go hand in hand.
The rejection and non-respect of the condition and language of patients is therefore intolerable in our organization. It is known that knowledge and competencies of workers are essential for the quality of care
As they point out, there are two official languages in the CAV. Clearly, they say that Euskera is exclusionary, while Castilian is not. In short, it is not a question of the quality of health care, but of prioritizing the internal mobility of purely Castilian speaking workers. They want a permanent job, preferably at home. Thus, they accept that half of the jobs have a Linguistic Profile (PL), provided that not the other half and, what is key, limiting themselves to Euskaldunes being registered exclusively in posts that have been allocated PL. Thus, bilingual workers would be assigned to the reserve, away from the urban realm, and almost to exile. Outside Bilbao, Vitoria and San Sebastian, that is, the civilised world. Be Euskaldun, but don't bother, please. The only maxillofacial surgery service in Bizkaia, for example, when it is in the Cruces Hospital. Do we not have the Basques the right to live in Bilbao? Are there no Basques in Vitoria? In short, they defend an apartheid: the segregation between Euskaldunes and Castilian speakers.
The imputation to the Basque Country or to any minority (whether Roma or immigrants) of the fall in health services is, without doubt, racist. Likewise, the rejection and non-respect of the condition and language of patients is, to a lesser extent, discriminatory and, therefore, unacceptable in our organization. It is well known that knowledge and skills of workers are essential for the quality of care. Unfortunately, they decide not to study, not to reach the one who needs help. Instead of listening, they prefer to speak themselves. To impose personal values, language or vision, and not receive the flow of others. They don't want us, they don't want us.
As has been said, the People's Pact on Health will soon be launched, which should lay the foundations agreed between all in favour of public health. Health care in Basque is one of these bases, compulsory, compulsory. All users have the right to receive health services in Basque, both in their oral and written relations. There is also the clinical history in Basque. Segregation between patients is currently not acceptable. Nor do I give up the Basque. In Osakidetza no xenophobia, please. Without Euskera, without attention in Euskera, without coexistence, there will be no pact of country.
