Three hundred and thirty-six applications for eighteen permanent positions, in Tuscany, in peripheral, mountain and island hospitals. Eighteen places, outside large urban centres, where young doctors who are hired can be granted economic incentives and career paths and targeted professionalisation.
The tender, experimental and unique in Italy curated by Estar, which closed today, Thursday 20 June, at midday and which the Region had promoted to respond to the problem of the low attractiveness of some facilities due to the territory, appears to have been successful. where they are located. The eighteen places concern all three Tuscan healthcare companies and in the next few weeks the dates of the competition tests will be communicated to the suitable candidates.
“Quality and excellence is recognized in Tuscan healthcare – comments President Eugenio Giani – We do not want to give up public and universal healthcare: on the contrary, we want to strengthen it. And this competition is a further investment in this sense.” “A public health system that works and is capable of responding to the needs of citizens – continues the president – requires excellence and at the same time widespread services, in order to guarantee identical treatment opportunities for everyone. To do this we will invest in local healthcare and community homes, but we also need doctors in hospitals far from large centers or on islands.”
“The good number of questions in this competition – comments the councilor for the right to health, Simone Bezzini – is a first positive sign regarding the progress of this experiment which aims to meet the professional expectations of young doctors. We wanted to respond to a critical issue with an innovation, as we have always done in Tuscany. We have therefore worked with determination to structure competitions that enhance young professionals who intend to work in the public healthcare system and offer them career paths, starting from hospitals in the peripheral, island and mountain areas of Tuscany. We are satisfied that the purpose was understood and appreciated.”
“These competitions – he continues – also represent a response to the care and assistance needs of people who live far from large urban centres. We will evaluate its effectiveness and consider the possibility of replicating this model in other territories and in other specialties”.
