El día nacional de la Atención Primaria_ICSEB_Chiari

Barcelona, 16 April 2014

April 12th is one of those days that society christens with a special name; with the commendable and healthy purpose of inciting to reflect on an aspect worth keeping in mind, may it be just for a few moments.

“The National Primary Health Care Day (Spain)illustrates the importance of good medical care – a care that should be dynamic, effective and efficient, and of course also sensitive to those diseases that due to their epidemiological features and occasionally also due to being clinically unspecified raise a real problem when it comes to reaching an early diagnosis.

Headaches following physical effort, lack of balance, prolonged nausea, nystagmus, loss of sensitivity, muscle atrophy, enuresis, spasticity, etc. These signs burst into the Primary Health Care Surgery many times without the possibility to detect the causes that give rise to them. Therefore the disadvantage of not being able to timely refer the patient to a specialist exists.

Being capable of reaching a correct diagnosis in a short space of time is one of the requests Dr. Miguel B. ROYO, director of the “Institut Chiari & Siringomielia & Escoliosis de Barcelona” has been putting forward for some time:

“…all these symptoms require a correct approach and demand continuous updates in the latest neurological advances by the Primary Health Care Specialists…”

A good healthcare system needs excellent Primary Care, and for this reason we join this celebration, in solidarity with the difficult task assigned to the sector and with the faith that the list of diseases that we bring together under the name “Filum Disease” shall be more and more known, diagnosed better and treated appropriately.
