«Our journey continues between the Murri departments and local healthcare, meeting our professionals and trying to raise awareness of the great work they do for the community every day». With these words, this morning, the general director of Ast Fermo, Roberto Grinta, accompanied by the administrative director Massimo Esposito, opened the press conference on the Infectious Diseases Unit of the Murri hospital in Fermo, led by the director Giorgio Amadio who barely he held back his emotion over his retirement which will take place on June 1st. Before Amadio’s speech, Esposito’s applause: «This department has also become a point of reference for neighboring territories, it is an excellence».
Also present were the director of health professions, Renato Rocchi, the organizational function of the department, Lucia Seccia, and that of the medical department, Giampietro Beltrami. «This department has grown a lot over the years – Amadio’s point – and enjoys a pool of top-level professionals who will also be able to shine in the future. Over the years we have faced critical issues such as HIV and, most recently, Covid which was a tsunami. Treatments have made great strides and our patients are no longer seen as derelict, as was the case in previous decades. We apply new therapies and all this contributes to reducing access to the emergency room. We deal with cases of cirrhosis, tuberculosis, sexually transmitted diseases, to name a few. We have expanded our outpatient activity. Now the challenge is with multi-resistant germs.”
A necessary parenthesis on Covid: «It has bent us but has not broken us, also thanks to the help of the Management. The pandemic – adds Amadio – has enriched us professionally. With the Coronavirus, the department had gone from 13 to 32 beds, all occupied. Now we have returned to normality for a specialty, ours, which we can define as transversal since it interacts with many other departments.” Some “current” numbers: «We carry out, on average, around 350 hospitalizations per year (with the pandemic they had skyrocketed). From 32 beds we returned to 13/15. And we have a number of staff adequate to the users’ requests: in addition to me, there are 7 doctors, 13 nurses and 3 OSS, an excellent team. And then the management also helps us with competitions.” «The Uoc has long been a point of reference for the infectious disease network for the southern Marche – underlines Grinta – and we place the utmost trust and attention in it». «From nothing we learned to manage new critical issues» is Seccia’s point, to which Beltrami adds: «The department boasts a team that has worked and continues to work very well, always respecting the procedures».
