My Vision for healthcare and disability right transformation
Despite allocating over €26 billion annually to our healthcare system, we are confronted with the distressing reality of extensive waiting lists, particularly impacting children in need of vital operations and individuals with disabilities. This mismanagement of funds is simply unacceptable. Healthcare, disability support, and childcare are fundamental necessities, and given the substantial investment, it is unacceptable that waiting lists for consultants remain at such inadequate levels.
Furthermore, chronic understaffing in our healthcare department places undue strain on our dedicated doctors who tirelessly serve our community.
As an advocate for change, I am deeply committed to addressing the systemic issues plaguing our healthcare system and championing the rights of individuals with disabilities. We must prioritize recruiting and retaining healthcare professionals by offering competitive salaries, benefits, and incentives. Additionally, investing in comprehensive training programs and expanding medical facilities is essential to strengthen our healthcare workforce and improve patient care.
Recognizing the immense value of international collaboration, I support establishing partnerships with EU countries renowned for their efficient healthcare systems. By learning from their best practices and insights, we can reform our own system and provide better care for all citizens.
Moreover, I staunchly advocate for the allocation of resources toward reducing waiting times and enhancing accessibility to essential services. This includes fortifying disability support services to ensure that individuals with disabilities receive the assistance they need in a timely manner. Everyone, regardless of ability, deserves equal access to healthcare and support services.
In conclusion, healthcare and disability rights are fundamental issues that demand immediate attention and action. By prioritizing recruitment and retention of healthcare professionals, investing in training and facilities, and strengthening disability support services, we can improve the lives of countless individuals and build a more inclusive society. It is time to prioritize the rights and well-being of all citizens, ensuring that no one is left behind. Together, let us work towards a future where everyone has access to quality healthcare and the support they need to thrive.
