It is intended to raise awareness among health professionals, health administrations and the general population about the value of Pediatrics and threats (pediatrician deficits, lack of recognition of pediatric specialties ...) that are endangering this discipline and With this, the quality of care for children and adolescents.
It also seeks to demand the adoption of measures that curb the situation of inequality in access to pediatricians that is being registered in the scope of the different autonomous communities.
These are not novel claims, since for some time professionals (and many of the citizens who go to pediatricians) seek improvements in their work, as the Asturian Association of Primary Care Pediatrics did, for example, and showed different associations years.
It seems that the political proposals, as in so many other areas, do not respond to the real needs of the population. Therefore, with "Send your message" They seek to accumulate denunciation or defense messages on the Twitter and Facebook pages of the campaign.
The posters and postcards of the campaign highlight the dangers of non-specialization and the need for quality care that the more than six million Spanish children deserve.
The "Save Pediatrics" campaign encourages us all to deliver our messages, make our voice heard claiming the value of the specialty and for a better quality of care for our children.
