Military hospitals. But photography is forbidden! The question about military hospitals can revolutionize care

Anyone who arrives today at Naval Marcílio Dias Hospital will soon notice at the entrance to the institution that there is a separate entrance for public officers and their families. The subject of many complaints, since medical procedures are of equal value to all military personnel, the highly embarrassing preferential entry remains there for decades.

Those who walk inside the hospital notice that there are separate bathrooms for officers and soldiers and even separate waiting rooms, as if people were classified there not by the necessity of care according to their need, but rather by the rank or rank they reached in the hospital. Hospital – active or – worse – what their parents, husbands or wives have achieved.

two classes

It ends up showing the existence of two distinct categories within the armed forces, one with special privileges and the other with duties only. Division by rank and rank is common to all military establishments all over the world, but only in Brazil is it a privileged treatment of officers who are seen and worse, principally at the expense of deductibles from soldiers, who – after all – are the majority.

Military hospitals are mainly supported by the obligatory contribution of graduates and soldiers who make up the vast majority. There is no option to not pay, and there is no way to stop disbursing and using the money to pay for a health plan.

The actions cost the same for all military personnel, and therefore, there is no reason to discriminate against this important class and its families. The presence of private lifts for the higher ranks and closed and exclusive suites undoubtedly increases the total cost.

Despite the modernization, humanization and expansion of rights in all sectors of society, discontent still exists in the military health institutions of Brazil, and from time to time a girl of 23 or 24 can be seen posing in front of elderly women. Everyone knows why, she’s the wife of a lieutenant who just joined the Navy, the old woman might be the wife of a corporal, and she’s dependent on someone who gave all of his youth to the institution but who is, health-wise, his family is literally in jeopardy. The second plan.

In some sectors the thing is rather hidden, when relatives of officers are called for help, they do so in a whispering voice or seemingly waiting in corridors inaccessible to the “normal” public.

Many say this is why there are posters around military hospitals that say “Photography is prohibited.”

Cape’s wife

Military personnel heard by our team believe that priority in outpatient care by rank and graduation should be present only when dealing with military service and operation, preferably in uniform. What would actually be a priority associated with the service. The thing cannot be extended to family members, rank and rank belong to the army, not to family members, and in reserve there is no hierarchical precedence.

Giving priority to the wife of a 23-year-old lieutenant leaving a lady, the wife of a corporal who gets up at dawn to get to the hospital early, is inhumane and goes against all the rules that talk about equality and opportunity.

“…I was, during a campaign, many times near military hospitals. The professionals are very loyal, but they have no way of acting against this kind of discrimination, they are active duty soldiers and they will end up suffering penalties…we have to remember that it is not a service Free … everything is paid … equal treatment. After the period of arrest, the army gets discounts that sometimes last for years … “Little Officer Bonifacio

We want to discuss all the rights of military personnel, from salary to health, from scope of service to unduly extended hours.

We are working on proposing a law or agreement with the assistance of the Public Prosecution Office so that all patients are released, from the decree at the entrance to military hospitals, regardless of ranks and grades. We will also ask for numbers, we want lists of referrals to private clinics by positions and grades, we want to know if there is any privilege for certain categories also in these types of actions that happen internally and cannot be seen by the subscriber user.
