Uil Fpl Calabria expresses deep concern about the difficulties faced by families with autistic children in our region
Press release
The closure of schools and the lack of accessible specialized centers represent a serious problem that requires immediate and concrete solutions.
Families often find themselves having to make up for the lack of adequate public facilities by turning to private centers whose costs are prohibitive.
These centers, while offering essential services, include very high costs for the education and therapy necessary for the correct development of autistic children.
Calabrian families cannot be left alone to face these challenges. Structural intervention is essential to guarantee quality services accessible to all. Autism is just one of the areas in which the Calabrian healthcare system shows serious gaps.
The lack of facilities and specialized personnel negatively affects the ability to provide adequate and timely care to patients, particularly to those who require continuous and specialized care. In this context, local medicine plays a fundamental role.
According to the recent Uil report, Calabria suffers from a significant shortage of personnel and structures specialized in territorial medicine. Our region urgently needs to strengthen local medicine to ensure effective and widespread healthcare.
It is necessary to increase the number of doctors, nurses and specialists, as well as improve existing healthcare infrastructure.
Uil Fpl Calabria will continue to fight to improve the conditions of the regional healthcare system and to guarantee adequate and dignified assistance to all Calabrian citizens.
For this reason, Uil Fpl Calabria asks for a concrete commitment from regional and national institutions to address these problems.
It is essential to invest in public health to create a support system that not only meets the needs of families with autistic children, but which guarantees a quality health service for all citizens.
Health protection and support for families must be an absolute priority. Only through concerted action and targeted investments can we hope to fill existing gaps and deliver a better future for our community.
