Health: “very little concrete” has been done in Rho

Rifondazione Comunista deems what has been done so far by the local administration ineffective: “Greater stance taken towards the leaders of Asst rhodense and the Lombardy Region”

Rho – After the Rhodesian Administration she expressed herself on the solutions currently under consideration alleviate local healthcare deficiencieslike the lack of general practitioners, it was easy to expect a response from the Party of Communist Refoundation. In fact, the Rho club has been fighting for months, especially through one specific petitionto ask the podestarial palace for greater interventions in the health sector, also through specific agreements with ASST Rhodense.

The club, in a statement we report, therefore judges what the administration has done so far “too little concrete” to be truly helpful to those who, for example, have left without a GP.

Too little concrete actions

“Reading the statement from the mayor of Rho regarding the citizens left without a GP, one is struck by the fact that, in addition to mention the few initiatives promoted by the mayor for a year nowit was seen very little concrete apart from i please contact the Rhodes Asst with the request to notify patients in time due to the cessation of activity of several doctors in the area, and the failed attempt of some time ago to provide space to facilitate the arrival of new doctors.”

Also at the center of criticism “The municipal space that the mayor talks about for a medical clinic in Lucerne – which would not be – was considered attractive for young GPs as it lacks the characteristics necessary to carry out the activity. Very different and of a different quality was the intervention of a private individual who, during 2021, made a medical practice ready for use and with all the necessary characteristics available at a controlled price in the Lucernate district. It is no coincidence that three general practitioners work there today.”

The slowness of the Passirana counter

“Beyond the numbers which vary and which are also very questionable – the press release continues – the fact is that there are thousands of people, especially elderly people, forced to go to the temporary clinic in Passirana and wait in long queues to have a visit and a simple prescription (which could also be sent online) for medicines or specialist visits and tests. Even the very long queues at the doctor selection and revocation counters at the CUP (with enormous work overload for the operators who struggle to manage the enormous load of requests) are an index of the seriousness of the problem and how much it is felt by the populationstarting with the elderly who lose a fundamental point of reference in the area for their health“.

The role of the mayor

Communist Refoundation he then puts the mayor Andrea Orlandi at the center of attention again, saying he is amazed that the “Mayor, as responsible for the public health of your community, take care of argue about the numbers and requests with those who try to support the defense of public health in the city with a municipal petition for general practitioners which reached wineskin 600 signatures in a few weeksas well as a health handbook for reducing waiting lists and a health desk that provides support to all those in the city who need visits and tests, sometimes urgent, at the right time and who cannot afford to go for a fee.”

The clash, however strong, is not direct. In fact, the Rho club recognizes that “The greatest responsibility lies with the Lombardy Regionwhich with its health policies has brought the regional health system to its knees – but feels the need to reiterate his – request for a greater position taken by the administration towards the leaders of Asst rhodense and the Lombardy Region so that a sacrosanct right is re-established: have adequate care and at the right time for the citizens of our community“.
