«I thank the Undersecretary for Health Marcello Gemmato for his presence today at the Camillo de Lellis Hospital. His visit allowed us to take stock of the needs of our hospital, which, due to its excellence in services and the breadth of the catchment area that goes from Monte San’Angelo to Zapponeta and Trinitapoli, cannot be classified as a simple home of Community”.
This is the comment of Ugo Galli, mayoral candidate of the Manfredonia2024 civic coalition, also supported by Forza Italia and Fratelli d’Italia, after the Undersecretary’s meeting with the healthcare leaders of the Manfredonia hospital.
«The deputy health director Luigi Esposito pointed out to the Undersecretary of Health Marcello Gemmato the need to set up the complex Anesthesia and Resuscitation structure together with the functionality of the entire hospital starting from the operating rooms of the Surgery and Orthopedics structures. During the meeting, in which I participated, I highlighted the new provision, just approved by the Council of Ministers, which allows the removal of spending constraints on the hiring of healthcare personnel and which therefore places the Region in a position to strengthen the existing structures starting with Anesthesia and Resuscitation.
With the Undersecretary we visited the Emergency Department and there the need emerged to strengthen the emergency emergency structure with additional financial resources to allow the Region to hire additional healthcare personnel (doctors and nurses), especially in consideration of the upcoming summer season, characterized by the presence in Manfredonia of an average of 100 thousand souls. The government representative assured us of an expansion of our hospital and our emergency room to guarantee proximity services for approaching treatment. The Government’s involvement process with our local authority, asking for suggestions and proposals, has just begun.”
