“Thinking about the recovery we must have a vision of the future. We have well thought out the system for delivering vaccines: a great job done by Regions and Autonomous Provinces – which have followed the instructions of the commissioner – by vaccinators. It’s all of Italy that makes up a team and when you make a team you win. This is Italy that is reborn “, said the Emergency Commissioner Francesco Figliuolo speaking at the presentation of the essay of which he wrote the preface “Generation V. Viruses, vaccines and variants. Journey into the new normal” (published by Paese Edizioni), written by Guido Rasi, former number one of the European Medicines Agency (Ema) and scientific director of Consulcesi (legal assistance and training company for health professionals). “The trust of citizens is important, when institutions are credible and citizens perceive it and give better than themselves “, he added. According to Figliuolo” the Delta variant is worrying, but we have faith in science, vaccines protect. But this must lead us to continue to behave correctly. Institutions must lead by example in this “.
“We have lived unforgettable months and we are still in a battle that we are facing with all energy. Yet we are in a different situation than in the previous weeks. Thanks to the vaccination campaign, we are in a position to be able to gradually return to habits that we had necessarily had to put in place. aside, even if we must not underestimate this moment, we can imagine with more force the future of our national health service “, explained the Minister of Health Roberto Speranza speaking with a video message at the presentation of the training book. “The numbers are there for everyone to see: until a few weeks ago we had 3800 people in intensive care, now we are under 400, 90% less; we have almost 30,000 people hospitalized in the medical area, and now we are under 2500 , even more than 90% less. And even the worst figure, that of deaths has dropped a lot compared to the previous weeks but we must continue to work with the utmost attention because the goal of all of us must be to reach zero deaths in all the regions of Italy “, added Speranza. And he continued: “After such difficult months, we finally have the resources, thanks to the European Union and thanks to the commitment of the regional government, to plan and design the national health service of the future. Today a phase of opportunity opens up because we have the resources, tools and knowledge that enable us to make our national health service stronger and I believe that this is the challenge of all of us. “A challenge – he concluded – that requires a great deal in the country, health and our National Health Service as the first brick for the relaunch of Italy “.
