“We are waiting to sign the protocol with the first country with which we have effectively closed the agreements, which is Paraguaythen we will also do it with theArgentina. By the end of the year I hope to have the first presence of nurses and technicians arriving from these countries.” As Guido BertolasoCouncilor for Welfare of Lombardy regionon the sidelines of a conference on the 20th World Donor Day.
“We will organize ourselves so that they can be immediately used in the wards of our public hospitals – added Bertolaso -. In addition to nurses, we will also look for other technicians. For example in the field of radiotherapy, given that at the moment we have great difficulty finding technicians. So we will broaden our scope. I do not rule out the possibility of using categories of doctors as well.”

Bertolaso concluded: “There is a lot of talk about the shortage of family doctors, but where is it written that we cannot look for them in Latin America, where they are called community doctors? They could very well also be interested in coming to work here in Lombardy, or in the rest of Italy. It’s all a work in progress that we are defining, improving, detailing day by day.”
