Power to the People: “Calabrian health care”

We receive and publish

Calabrian health is inexorably collapsed, in particular the territorial one. Nevertheless, Doctors and nurses are missing in the 118 stations now closed and with firm ambulances. For example, Prelude of another summer of passion for patients. In addition, especially for the most fragile such as the elderly, who are now the only ones who remained to live in the small communities of the internal areas.

The territorial emergency stations of Catanzaro Lido and Maida, preceded by that of Girifalco, closed. In addition, By now only the dramatic stakes remain of inactive stations, because it is only equipped with the driver. Moreover, A few days ago ISCA on the Ionian also underwent the closure. Similarly, But it is clear that the situation will continue to worsen. Furthermore, precisely coinciding with the two months of the summer culminates, July power people: “calabrian health care” and August, because the population will increase in tourist resorts and the service is drastically reducing itself.

Added to this is the non -payment of extraordinary to the staff who serve. subjected to massacred shifts so as not to stop the ambulances (not paid since December). Despite the sacrifice. at the ASP of Catanzaro, it happens that the 118 operators are assessed at the minimum for the payment of productivity 2023.

Finally, there is also the blocking of additional services, despite the deficiency of doctors is known to everyone. One wonders if you are not implementing a scientific operation of sabotage of the emergency service. perhaps why is there any private individual?

A dramatic picture with firm ambulances. with the consequence of having entire private territories of a fundamental and primary assistance garrison.

We have gone from the demedicalized stations. without a doctor to be clear, closed on alternate days because the figure of power people: “calabrian health care” the nurse has also failed. The Lombard model. imported into our region, according to which the emergency service can very well work with the absence of the doctor, shows all its weakness when the nurses are scarce, with the dramatic consequence that the ambulances remain still and the entire health system is now for collapse.
But despite this failure. the Calabria Region of Occhiuto still relies on Lombardy and approving the collaboration agreement scheme pursuant to art. 15 of Law 241/1990 between the Calabria Region. the Lombardy Region for the realization of the interregional collaboration project for the reorganization of the emergency room network.

As if all this were not enough. the continuity of care (the medical guards) which is the service that guarantees the basic medical assistance at home and outpatient for situations that cover urgency and that occur during nighttime or on holidays and pre -holidays, is working at a power people: “calabrian health care” reduced gauge with monthly closures from 6 to 8 days, as is happening in S.Andrea Jonio and Satriano.

We cannot forget what happened to Serafino Congi. 48 years old, who died on an ambulance on 4 January after spending hours in the emergency room of San Giovanni in Fiore.

In Calabria we die, we remember, because public health has been dismantled. But there are those with the consequent privatization of healthcare continues to enrich themselves. The dulbecco of these days teaches, while remaining guaranteed to the end. These are the results of the freelance freelance activity (Alps). Of that regime of health services provided by dependent doctors of the National Health Service. within the hospital facilities, but outside normal working hours and payment. Affair on which the Catanzaro and Calabrian politics did not spend a word.

We believe that health is not a market good, but a fundamental right and we must relaunch power people: “calabrian health care” it!
