“In Vibo the ASP authorizes the AFT, in the capital there is no response”

“In recent months in the province of Vibo Valentia a virtuous path has been undertaken in the context of strengthening territorial assistance: the ASP is focusing and authorizing them on Territorial Functional Aggregations (AFT), an organizational form in which medical doctors In general, they work in teams to guarantee daily assistance to the local population. Inexplicably, in the province of Catanzaro, the ASP does not accept requests for aggregation of professionals, even though there is one that would benefit patients from the seaside district of Catanzaro logical and harmful disparity”.

This was written in a note by the coordinator of the political movement Alleanza per Catanzaro, Franco Longo.

“This silence in the Catanzaro area is not understandable, if the national (and regional) objective is the progressive abandonment of the ‘hospital-centric’ logic and in parallel implementing the activities closest to the patients, whose right to treatment is perpetually at the mercy of the lists of waiting and the lack of doctors and nurses in hospital facilities. Furthermore, I struggle to understand why in the ASP of Vibo the AFTs are going well and are carried forward while that of Catanzaro remain blocked. Yet, the two companies are led by the same commissioner extraordinary. Why this unjustified penalization of patients and doctors from Catanzaro. I reiterate, with determination, the need to pursue the path of providing complete, accessible and continuous assistance throughout the day, starting from the AFT in Lido. It would be a significant step forward that ensures citizens have access to care even during time slots not covered by traditional medical practices. In the event that the ASP of Catanzaro still remains deaf to this legitimate request, I would have to consider this form. of ostracism not only of an administrative and technical nature but of a political nature. And, at that point, from Catanzaro we will make ourselves heard with extreme rigor and strength to protect professionals and clients.”
