00:00Good afternoon. Here in the municipality of Neiva we found ourselves in a peaceful protest
00:06in the face of the situation that we have been going through
00:09after the death of a daughter of mine, who was a parcemic homozygote,
00:14who was admitted to the San Bartolomé hospital on January 31,
00:19whose blood was denied to her after she had been given a blood test that indicated that she had to be transfused.
00:27The negativity of Dr. Rodríguez influenced Dr. Mateo so that she would not be transfused.
00:35However, she was transferred to Jaime Muerta de Barahona,
00:39where she was transfused with several drops of blood,
00:42but she died at 9 in the morning.
00:45However, at 8 they had in Neiva, the blood bank,
00:51she was transfused with two drops of B-positive blood,
00:55which was the blood that my daughter Samara Mendes needed
01:00at the time the diagnosis was made on Friday night.
01:04She died of carelessness due to the action of an impetuous doctor,
01:10insisting that there was no blood.
01:13However, they did not go to the blood bank to see the existence of it,
01:19having two drops that the next day she was willing to transfer to Barahona.
01:25Unfortunately, the direction of the San Bartolomé hospital,
01:30the direction of the provincial health service,
01:33and the national health service have manifested themselves around the case
01:37and have taken sanctions on the same case.
01:40This doctor must be sanctioned energetically,
01:46because he is the second member of my family
01:51who is lost in the hospital in the hands of that doctor.
01:55So we ask for sanctions and that they be characterized
02:00so that this hospital continues forward
02:04and that more young people do not continue to die than those who are admitted,
02:09because it is a right,
02:11and we have to preserve this hospital above all,
02:14and people who are passing by will not destroy our morale in the municipality of Neiva.
