The Minister of Health Orazio Schillaci is in Umbria today to visit three health facilities: Spoleto, Foligno and Perugia.
The objective is also to personally verify the state of healthcare in the regional public structures, but it is inevitable that the visit will also have political implications, in light of the imminent electoral deadlines. With him, the president of the Senate Health Commission, Franco Zaffini, and the president of the Region Donatella Tesei.
The program includes a visit to the San Matteo degli infermi hospital in Spoleto at 3.30pm where the new CT scan and the new linear accelerator will be inaugurated. Afterwards, in Foligno, the minister will visit the San Giovanni Battista hospital, where important anti-seismic interventions are being launched. Here the project of the Terzo-Foligno-Spoleto hospital hub and the project for the global care of cancer patients will be illustrated. At 6.30 pm the delegation will move to Perugia to visit the Santa Maria della Misericordia hospital, where the new Pet system will be inaugurated. The minister will also visit the new residence of the Chianelli Foundation, adjacent to the hospital. The day will end with a dinner with Sumai, the only Italian outpatient doctors’ union, in which the general secretary Antonio Magi will participate.
