Revolutionary Agreement to Improve Healthcare for Elderly in Puerto Madryn

A New Partnership

In an exciting development for the elderly population of Puerto Madryn, the president of the Council of Senior Citizens, Oscar Furci, announced a groundbreaking agreement with the company Farmacias Patagónicas. This partnership aims to enhance healthcare services for seniors, making it easier for them to access medication and providing personalized support at the company's headquarters.

Empowering the Elderly

Furci highlighted the importance of providing specific tools for seniors who struggle with using new technologies. The collaboration will include training sessions to help the elderly navigate the medication pickup application. This assistance will be invaluable in simplifying the process for those who find it challenging.

Convenient and Efficient Service

As part of the agreement, a telephone system will be implemented to allow elderly individuals to check if their medication is ready before visiting the pharmacy, reducing unnecessary trips. This new system will save time and effort for seniors who often visit the pharmacy prematurely due to misunderstandings.

Hands-On Support

Moreover, a specialized assistant will be available at the Roca y Belgrano branch, offering direct guidance to users. Plans are also underway to extend this service to municipal homes and prepare medication for individuals with mobility issues, demonstrating a commitment to comprehensive care for all elderly residents.

Challenges of Digitalization

Furci raised concerns about the exclusion of older generations in the digitalization process. He emphasized that many seniors lack the necessary phones and support to use applications effectively, underscoring the importance of considering their unique needs and capabilities.

Restored Ambulance Service

In another positive development, Furci confirmed the reinstatement of ambulance services for PAMI affiliates in Puerto Madryn starting from July 1st. The SEP, which had ceased operations in late November, will resume as the service provider, equipped with ambulances and trained medical personnel for complex transfers.

Improving Emergency Response

Furci criticized the previous system, highlighting the inefficiencies of the 0800 hotline for emergencies. With the new and improved ambulance service, seniors can expect faster and more effective emergency responses, ensuring their safety and well-being.

The partnership between the Council of Senior Citizens and Farmacias Patagónicas represents a significant step towards enhancing healthcare services for the elderly in Puerto Madryn, underscoring the importance of tailored support and accessible resources for this valuable demographic.
