Anzio, 2 July 2024 – “We are alongside the citizens of Anzio, Neptune and surrounding areas in the battle to see the maternity ward of their hospital reopened. The mobilization, which also includes a signature collection, has its reasons. Closed during the pandemic, the Birth Point, which serves an estimated population of around 120,000, was supposed to be moving towards its natural reopeningas promised by the Director Pro Tempore of the ASL RM 6 with a public commitment. But, as we know, words fly”. This is what the national secretary of UGL Salute Gianluca Giuliano and the provincial secretary of UGL Salute Roma Valerio Franceschini declared in a note.
“Like the hope of the citizens concerned to be able to give birth to their children at the Anzio-Nettuno Hospital. The hospital has been debased over time, deprived of resources and this new episode confirms the lack of attention of the Lazio Region towards the structure and the citizens who could use its services. The Anzio-Nettuno Hospital is already equipped while in the Castelli Hospital, which is about 15 kilometers from Velletri, it will have to set up a completely new Birth Point. Is this the new course of regional health care? We ask this of President Francesco Rocca and his Council to whom we have forwarded a request for an urgent meeting to discuss this obvious criticality that risks creating, in neighboring territories, citizens of series A and series B.” conclude.
