Vielka Rosero, president of the National Association of Nursing Practitioners and Technicians (ANPATE), stated that when it comes to the lives of people who already arrive with fear and anxiety, specialization and experience are key. She mentioned that over 20,000 nursing technicians have also prepared, investing time and money in training that includes assistance in operating rooms. On the other hand, surgical instrumentators deny the existence of a 'labor war.' They claim they are not competitors but complements, and their work strengthens comprehensive care and provides specialized support in operating rooms. Tension continues to rise, and next week will be crucial: the Health Committee of the National Assembly must pronounce on the future of Bill 255. Rosero stated that before passing any law, the government must think about patient health and not about 'merchandising'.
