It is known by all that the Hospital de Dénia It causes a lot of commotion between patients and professionals for its management.

The latest news we have learned this morning is that Marina Salud, contrary to what its own doctors recommend, is sending its cancer patients to receive radiotherapy sessions at the neighboring private clinic Benidorm.

According to the own oncologists of Marina Salud, the treatment that the patients receive in this clinic is more aggressive and causes them side effects like burns in the skin, inflammations in internal tissues of the digestive apparatus and diarrhea and impossibility or difficulty in swallowing.

The Platform for the Defense of Public Health of the Marina Alta has been made aware of this fact, which has already been transferred to the Patient Ombudsman, who, in turn, has asked the Valencian Community Prosecutor's Office to initiate an investigation.

However, the platform revealed yesterday that there have been some exceptions and the hospital has agreed to refer to the General Hospital of Valencia oncological patients, those who, because they were relatives of doctors were pressured to offer treatment in the center public.

The Platform for the Defense of Public Health yesterday encouraged cancer patients to demand the highest quality treatment and apply them to a public network hospital instead of referring them to a private clinic. This group has transferred these facts to the Patient Advocate because he understands that they are "an attack on the health and life of patients."

    I do not understand that a news that is old. Be published
    again and again, as if it were a new piece of news. Does not fit
    doubt that the mood of the news is different from that of.
    Report.

      Totally agree, Miguel.
      In addition, somewhat daring given that it has been shown, and all parties are aware, that the information is not based on objective data, it is a simple opinion covered with "news".
      It is even sadder when, without really understanding what is meant by this "news", without sources or objective data or verifiable facts, it is about cancer patients. They are extremely sensitive populations and this could only have hurt them.
      And a curious fact for readers: the Hospital in Valencia mentioned is privately managed.
