An important day for the Romagna Local Health Authority and healthcare in Cesena, the Cau was inaugurated on Monday 6 May on the ground floor of the service area of the Bufalini hospital, it will welcome patients with low-criticality health problems every day from 8am to 8pm These are the impressions of Mayor Enzo Lattuca at the ribbon cutting: “I am convinced that it will bring benefits primarily to users who find a suitable lane. We must not be afraid of changes, it is not a Copernican revolution. I am convinced that the Cau system it will also be taken as a model in other regions.”

Lattuca continued at the inauguration of the Bufalini Cau: “There is a real problem of congestion in the emergency rooms, at this moment even those who have had an insect bite or a muscle contracture are accessing it. The idea that they all converge in the same point does not it was rational, I feel like saying ‘why didn’t we think of this before?’ It is also a problem of correct use of human resources, especially in a phase of shortage of emergency doctors. We have done the right thing, we will put citizens in a position to find a quick healthcare response, word of mouth will explain this news to everyone, which in any case. It’s 100 meters from our hospital’s emergency room, meaning no one will be bounced miles away.”
The President of the Region Stefano Bonaccini added: “We tried to make a courageous, necessary and innovative choice, if we wait for the minister of health perhaps we wait twenty years. We are doing this reform alone, we would expect to be accompanied in these reforms, the Italian emergency rooms are ‘exploding’. We have a health minister called Schillaci, but he is not making us dream.” “The emergency rooms – continued Bonaccini – have been mistaken for medical clinics, we do not have coercive powers to force someone not to go to the emergency room, it is not easy to change people’s habits, it is not easy to evaluate their symptoms. I was afraid that it took a long time to convince people to go to the Cau.
