The computer system of the Garbagnate and Rho hospitals has been hacked and at the moment it is no longer possible to make admissions and at the moment only emergencies are being followed.
This morning, 6 June 2024, the computer system of the Rho and Garbagnate hospitals was hacked: at the moment it is no longer possible to carry out hospitalizations and services with 118 have been blocked. Only emergencies are being carried out while waiting for the system to restart.
The Rho hospital website is also not reachable.
Shortly after 3pm, Asst Rhodense released the following message on its social channels.
During the night, the ASST Rhodense computer network suffered a major cyber attack. The Management, in concert with the technicians, is working to verify the situation, while guaranteeing essential services.
The Company has organized a user reception service in each Presidium, in order to inform them and take care of any requests.
The provision of already scheduled outpatient services is guaranteed, except those of Nuclear Medicine (for example MOC), radiology (CT scan, MRIs, X-rays and Mammograms) and laboratory analysis (including blood tests).
However, activities relating to non-urgent surgical interventions and those of booking at the CUP, scheduled hospitalization and sampling points are suspended (TAO patients can contact the reception of the POs of Bollate, Garbagnate and Rho for information on the methods of execution of the tests necessary for the management of the therapy).
The emergency rooms in Garbagnate and Rho remain active (only the dispatch of ambulances has been suspended) but, in cases of urgency, citizens are advised to contact other facilities.
It is currently not possible to estimate the recovery times of the company network and we ask for everyone’s collaboration, especially in these first moments of reorganization of the business.
