Trump promete enviar un buque hospital a Groenlandia y desata choque diplomático – Chicago Tribune

By KIRSTEN GRIESHABER, KONSTANTIN TOROPIN and DEVI SHASTRI

The President of the United States, Donald Trump, confirmed on Saturday in a publication in Truth Social that he was sending a hospital to Greenlandia, saying that many residents of the island were locked up and did not receive attention, even the two large hospitals that have the Marina of the United States are maintained in a contractor from Alabama.

The announcement caused Greenland’s prime minister to defend the territory’s health system, the latest point of friction with Trump, who used to rely on the frequency of Greenlandia, a semi-autonomous territory of Dinamarca, a NATO ally country.

This is a more detailed analysis of things:

Trump says many people are locked up

Trump said he sent a special message to the Arctic territory: “Working with the fantastic Governor of Louisiana, Jeff Landry, is going to send us a big hospital to Greenland to help the many people who are cooped up there who aren’t paying attention to them.”

LOS HECHOS: I never used to report serious infections in Greenland in the end and we don’t know what refers to Trump.

According to the Danish Medical Journal, today in Greenland there is a population of around 57,000 people, who are treated by the Reina Ingrid Hospital in Nuuk, the capital. The territory also has several regional health centers.

The majority of health services in Greenland are free for citizens and permanent residents. This includes the treatment of general doctors, specialized doctors and hospitals, health centers, medicines with recipe, dental public attention and home health care, according to the website of the Consejo Nórdico de Ministros, which is the official body of intergovernmental cooperation in the Northern region.

In response to Trump’s publication, Greenlandic Prime Minister Jens-Frederik Nielsen destroyed the region’s free health system and pointed out the differences with the United States, in a criticism of the estadounidense system.

“We have a public health system so that treatment is free for citizens. This is a deliberate election and a fundamental part of our society,” Nielsen said. “It’s not as functional in the United States as having money for a doctor.”

Regarding the free health service, there are “significant public health challenges” on the vast island, according to the Greenlandia Public Health Center.

Many of these challenges are linked to “profound changes (in the transition) from a commercial society to a modern industrial and knowledge society” in a short period of time. There are more people suffering from conditions such as obesity, diabetes and cardiovascular diseases.

Anna Wangenheim, Greenland’s Minister of Health and Persons with Disabilities, recently posted an “urgent” request on her Facebook page stating that the “National Health Service currently needs dentists for 3 different localities: Aasiaat, Paamiut and Nanortalik.”

“There are difficulties in accessing medical services in remote areas and personal flight, which has seen better notables on the island, who took political responsibility for their own unique health system in 1992, said Lene Seibæk, professor at the Institute of Health and Nature at the University of Greenland.

Seibæk added: “In 2020, life expectancy in Greenland was around 71 years for men and 77 years for women, representing an increase of around six years for men and five years for women over the decade. 1990, and supera el average mundial”.

Trump says US hospital will make noise in Greenlandia

“¡¡¡Está en camino!!! ” Trump wrote in his Truth Social post, claiming that one of the big hospitals is headed to Greenland.

LOS HECHOS: USNS Mercy and USNS Comfort are in station in Mobile, Alabama, according to posts on the site’s social media, and the two white hospital offices appear together at each other at the end of the year. Publicly available boat tracking data must be tracked by the astillero.

According to the government contract for workers, comfort arrived at the safe state station on January 23 and it is hoped that it will be permanent until April.

Mercy’s repairs, which took place in August, were extended to the maximum extent possible on the scheduled completion date. Government contract records are to be scheduled to make more repairs for the vehicle in March, as the northwestern state of Oregon.

If you open the exit of anything from both buques, you will need additional time before getting rid of it. The standard tripling of a United States hospital does not include the full contingent of personal physicians needed to operate the vast medical facilities, which include 12 doctors and 1,000 hospital rooms. Normally, the boats get doctors, nurses, chamberlains and hospital doctors at their base, in Norfolk, Virginia, or San Diego, before leaving.

Trump’s enviado claims he escaped services

Landry, the Louisiana governor who is working to become a Trump special envoy, on X Sunday reiterated the president’s assertion that “many others and little people care about the basic services that states have chosen for envoys.”

Landry added that “small tests are not known to permanent doctors, diagnostic tools or specialist care, which requires residents to travel great distances for life-saving treatments that must be available at home.”

LOS HECHOS: Although medical service is no longer physically available in all services across the vast territory, telemedicine has an important role for people who live in remote areas.

Patients in areas without necessary health care may also be transported to the national hospital or regional facilities. In complex cases, you may be flown to Denmark to receive medical treatment, and the government will pay for the transport and treatment.

In comparison, rural United States faces financial challenges in accessing critical medical attention, which is due, in part, to financial constraints during extended periods of travel. The hurdles have been implemented over the past decade to ensure as many maternity sessions as possible, farms must operate, and rural hospitals and clinics prepare for federal Medicaid applications.

Since 2010, 152 rural hospitals, many across the United States, have recorded inpatient services or been fully recorded, according to data from the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. The expansion of television may help some desired people, experts say, but it’s not a universal solution due to most rural areas facing providers and a still unreliable band.

Landry’s condition is not the exception. The majority of Louisiana’s jurisdictions are fully or partly rural and 73% of residents live in areas without sufficient primary care providers, 86% without sufficient dental care providers and 93% without sufficient mental health providers, according to the state health department.
