Campania, the “competition” for doctors is a flop: doctors fear attacks in hospital
The public health Italy is increasingly in crisis, in addition to the well-known problems of lack of funds and more and more structures obsoletea new one is added with ever greater force emergency: that related to safety. This was one of the reasons for the sensational flop of the “competition” to look for doctors to be assigned to the emergency rooms of the Campania. They are 363 seats, full-time and permanent, medical director, emergency medicine discipline, were – reports Il Corriere della Sera – only 62 candidates were successful, of which 43 were specialists and just 19 were specialists, a figure very far from the expected coverage. Disheartening. And, seeing that to participate there were no age limitsa 63-year-old doctor appears on the list while the youngest of the residents has not yet turned 28.
Manuel Ruggiero, doctor, president of the “Hands Off Hippocrates” association explains the reason for these numbers. “There’s no point in hiding behind a finger,” says Ruggiero to Il Corriere – There is a real security issue herethere are realities like Napoli 1, which has put up for competition 60 places, and Napoli 3 (45 places), which they are highly at risk. It’s not attacks on medical personnel and paramedic with punches, kicks and slaps which as an association we denounce every day are just the tip of the iceberg. Our data is very far from the real ones, in fact, many are threatened and do not report, continue their work in silence. Faced with a similar situation, a doctor thinks not once, but a thousand times before participating competition“.
