translated from Spanish: The reality of the forgotten

Sir: some weeks ago, my uncle is ill, going to the emergency room of the Hospital Padre Hurtado with a diabetic coma. The quality of the medical professionals of the place is good, however the number of them is scarce and very poor infrastructure.
My uncle waited around twelve hours to be seen by a professional, since the doctor on duty did not supply. Before the collapse, the hospital staff took seats in the waiting room. There, my uncle spent the night along with fifteen others who were in serious condition.
The above, not only seems to me to be totally brutal, but it represents a national reality of concern. At the end of April this year, the third headline that according to a report of the Ministry of health (corresponding to the average for the period 2014-2017), 674 people dawn every day in the hospital emergency room, even if they have the instruction of being interned, because care spaces there is a definitive bed available.
Let the patients seated on a bench, begging for attention, is a shameful situation. When the relevant authorities will do something in particular?, many more will have to die, waiting for attention, to realize the great flaw that has our system of public health?
