Nursind denounces the critical issues of the University of Sassari.
Critical health issues also at the University of Sassari.Fausta Pileri, Territorial secretary of Nursind Sassari and member of the Nursind National Directorate, today expressed profound concerns regarding the health situation in the province of Sassari. In a statement released this morning, Pileri described healthcare professionals and patients as “the stepchildren of healthcare“, highlighting serious critical issues and unfair treatment by the institutions.
“Patients on stretchers present as always, very long waiting lists present as always. However, the payments of first aid allowances are absent, as are the economic brackets, both in the local health authority and in the Aou of Sassari”, said Pileri, underlining the difficulties faced by healthcare professionals and patients in the province of Sassari. Pileri denounced a “chronic shortage” of healthcare personnel, also attributing responsibility to the managers of healthcare companies. “Company managers wonder or pretend to wonder why there is a shortage of nurses, health workers and other healthcare professionals. A chronic deficiency that has never been remedied,” she declared.
The situation at the University of Sassari, again in the healthcare sector, is no better. “The University of Sassari, in fact – adds Pileri – is not rIt employs almost all the contract teachers of the health professions degree coursessomething that the University of Cagliari, for example, does regularly”.
Finally, Pileri underlined a “widespread malpractice in the Sassari healthcare system“, highlighting the lack of improvements in recent years and a discrepancy between the decisions of politicians and administrators at regional and local level and the real needs of patients and healthcare professionals. “Citizens must remember this treatment every time they have the opportunity to go and vote” concluded Pileri.
Given the serious situation facing the Sassari healthcare system, Nursind undertakes to continue to closely monitor the situation and to act to guarantee better working and healthcare conditions for professionals and patients in the province of Sassari.
