ASTI Federico Ghignone and Vittorio Pasta, doctors specializing in resuscitation and vascular surgery respectively, working at the Cardinal Massaia hospital in the Asti capital, were awarded by the Asti Rotary Club with two scholarships worth 10 thousand euros each.
The delivery took place in recent days in the presence of the general director of the ASL At Francesco Arena, the director of the complex vascular surgery structure Alberto Pecchio and the director of the complex anesthesia and resuscitation structure Alessandro Bianchi.
«The initiative is the result of the legacy that Luigina Robiolo has given to the Club with the precise intention of supporting young doctors in training», explained the president Maurizio Mela and the past president Luigi Florio, specifying: «We managed to identify two professionals who have expressed their desire to continue Cardinal Massaia’s career».
Federico Ghignone, 30 years old, originally from Rivalta (Turin), graduated from the University of Turin, where he is continuing his specialization in anesthesia and resuscitation. Before arriving at the Asti hospital, he worked at the ASL To3 and at the White Cross of Rivalta, also as an instructor of the 118 volunteers.
Vittorio Pasta, 33 years old, from Turin, graduated in medicine and surgery at the University of Turin, where he is continuing his specialization in vascular surgery. As part of Cardinal Massaia’s team since January, he previously worked at the Città della Salute e della Scienze – Molinette hospital in Turin. Thanking the Asti Rotary club for its constant attention to the health needs of the area, the general director of the ASL At Arena underlined how “fundamental it is to support young doctors, attract them to the city and encourage them to work for our hospital”.
