Bologna, 23 April 2024 – “This agreement represents a concrete and closeness signal to the entire healthcare world”, he opens Antonio Sbordone, police commissioner of Bolognaduring the signing of memorandum of understanding between the Police Headquarters and the city’s health authorities to facilitate passport issuing procedures for health institution staff from 2 May.
I am twenty appointments a week in each healthcare company town in which the healthcare worker will be able to request the passport through the administrative police, who will take charge of the application and then deliver the passport to the applicant in the hospital, so that the healthcare worker passes through the police only for fingerprint recognition.
An agreement that serves to facilitate travel abroad for research purposes common in the healthcare community. In short, this “help is a sign of care towards them”, he says Chiara Gibertoni, general director of Ircss Policlinico Sant’Orsola Aou (university hospital). He also thanks Paolo Bordon, general director of ASL Bologna. “An act of collaboration which gives priority to medical personnel to go abroad to carry out conferences or updates”. Or, as he says Anselmo Campagnageneral director of Irccs Ior (Rizzoli Orthopedic Institute), is “an initiative which distinguishes the daily work of those who work in healthcare”.
Sbordone, however, announces that the police are also working on a early warning system in the event of an attack on healthcare personnel, who connects the department or the emergency room directly to the police operations center. “Our police offices don’t cover 24 hours and they can’t cover them, the evening-night time slot, however, must be addressed more”. And here the commissioner calls for more severe penalties at a national level in the event of an attack on medical personnel. “I hope for further restrictive intervention, because the attacks against professional figures such as health workers, teachers and all those who dedicate themselves to the community are hateful”.
