Rome, 12 March (beraking latest news Salute) – “Vaccinate the ‘last’, the ‘invisible’: the homeless, the homeless, all those people who do not exist for the State. But who are entitled, like everyone, to treatment and who are all the more at the risk of contracting and even transmitting Covid “. This is the proposal made by Fnomceo, the National Federation of Medical Orders, reported by President Filippo Anelli who proposes to address the doctors who have offered themselves as voluntary vaccinators also on this front. Among them, the Catholic doctors.
“We have received communication, from the president of the Italian Catholic Doctors Association” Amci, “Filippo Boscia, of the availability expressed by the members to the Minister of Health, Roberto Speranza: colleagues – explains Anelli – are ready to give their contribution, as volunteers, to the vaccination campaign. It is a gesture of great solidarity and professional responsibility, for which we thank the Amci and which deserves all our support. Doctors are in the field with all their articulations: postgraduates, general practitioners , free choice pediatricians, outpatient specialists, dentists and, now, even volunteers “.
“We invite the minister to accept the offer of these doctors, placing them as volunteers within a plan that provides for the vaccination of the homeless, the homeless, the least. People who have no voice, who do not ask for anything, who live in solitude and in marginalization “, Anelli continues.
It is, says Anelli, of “‘invisible’, not included in any registry or vaccination plan, because for the State, they simply do not exist. Subjects doubly fragile, from a social as well as a health point of view, to whom the right must be guaranteed fundamental health and access to treatment. It must be guaranteed first of all for their protection, but also as a public health strategy, because the conditions in which they live make them easy victims of the virus and possible carriers. Vaccinating them means limiting the circulation of the virus and extinguish possible outbreaks in the bud “.
“The whole medical profession is available to lend a hand to the most fragile subjects, according to the dictates of the Code of Ethics – concludes Anelli – We hope that this availability will be welcomed and addressed in this sense, also in collaboration with voluntary associations”.
