Miguel Soares de Oliveira, former president of INEM, warned deputies about the loss of response capacity of the institute in case of catastrophe. The former official considers that the diploma that changes the organic structure of INEM was approved without solving the main structural problems of the institution.
According to the former president, the approved law represents a missed opportunity. Soares de Oliveira believes that the legislative changes are not sufficient to fill the gaps that affect the functioning of the National Institute of Medical Emergency.
The main warning from Miguel Soares de Oliveira is related to the future consequences of the decisions made. The former president warned that the errors now made in the organization of INEM will have to be paid for later, suggesting that the lack of action may compromise the response capacity in emergency situations.
Soares de Oliveira encouraged deputies to change the organic law of INEM, defending that it is necessary to strengthen the structure of the institute to guarantee an effective response in case of catastrophe.
