These values are exorbitant for many families, who face enormous difficulties in defrauding these medical procedures.<\/p>\n<p>Orlando Delgado also stressed that the Government must work as a \u201cdifferentiated way\u201d and justified that, while in the city of Praia there is the equipment for the tests in hospitals, and a person with low income can pay five to six escudos, in the hospitals of Sa\u0303o Vicente and Santo Anta\u0303o this is not possible.<\/p>\n<p>In this sense, the president of AMSA argued that the Government should implement policies that significantly reduce the costs for low-income citizens, similarly to the exemptions from moderating fees and the reduction of water and electricity payment.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt is crucial that the government adopts a more inclusive and differentiated approach, ensuring that all Cape Verdeans have equitable access to the necessary health care. City councils are making efforts to help, but often that is not enough.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Orlando Delgado also highlighted the need to create positive discrimination, at least in the Hospital de Sa\u0303o Vicente, so that it can acquire the necessary equipment and considerably reduce the costs of performing these complementary tests.<\/p>\n<p><strong>For More News And Analysis About Cape verde Follow Africa-Press<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Africa-Press &#8211; Cape verde.
