We receive – from Erasmo Bitetti of the SIMG (Italian Society of General Medicine) of Matera – and publish this document – which you can read in full at this link (Miulli Hospital -19-6-2024- Interruption of healthcare services to residents of BASILICATA and other EXTRA REGION -min)- of the Miulli Hospital announcing “the interruption of healthcare services to residents of Basilicata (in the absence of the “Border Agreements” stipulation) starting from 01/07/2024”. The suspension concerns: planned hospitalizations; Day surgery; Day hospital; Day Service and Outpatient.
The document continues:
“Furthermore, bookings for services (including Oncology and Radiotherapy visits) and instrumental diagnostic tests (CT scan, MRI, Endoscopies, etc.) are suspended until 12/31/2024.
It will only be possible to carry out follow-up/check-up visits, in order to avoid interruptions in the therapeutic process.”
The possibility of first paid visits is foreseen:
”In consideration of the health demand of users, in particular from Basilicata, in order to offer the possibility of treatment at our hospital, the possibility of accessing institutional clinics with remuneration at paid by the user equal to a cost of 60 euros, referable to the amount of the service and the ticket.” All this while President Bardi and his majority are taking their time with the appointment of the Executive and other council positions, with the outgoing health councilor – but not yet replaced – so busy getting himself elected as mayor of the capital of region. Everything else can wait… including those who need treatment.
