“It’s an odyssey – begins Polichetti – The waiting lists are so clogged that if someone needs an urgent orthopedic visit, the quickest option is rgo to Sapri next June 18th. But this means travel 147 kilometers.
A journey that involves absurd costs for a family that already cannot afford a private consultation. It is not acceptable that for a simple visit you have to face such inconveniences – he said -. If you want to avoid Sapri, the alternatives aren’t much better.
You have to wait until October for a visit to Whelk, which is not really close, or you even need to wait until December 12th for an appointment in the Cava de’ Tirreni clinic. This is a system that doesn’t work“.
Polichetti does not limit himself to denouncing the problem, but proposes two solutions concrete steps to improve the situation:
“I appeal to the local health authority to create collaborations with affiliated clinics. We need to dramatically reduce these waiting lists. We cannot allow citizens to have to wait months or travel long distances to get a medical exam“.
Then the invitation to the Salerno specialists. “Let’s unite to create a solidarity Cup. Each with their own skills and with the support of the numerous non-profit organizations present in our area. By joining forces, we can offer a quick and effective solution to everyone who needs it. The health of our citizens must be the top priority.
We cannot afford to leave people at the mercy of endless waiting lists or force them into exhausting and expensive journeys. It is our duty to find immediate solutions and work together to ensure equitable and timely access to medical care“, concluded Polichetti.
