“We surgeons are worried that a possible resurgence of this pandemic could bring us back to the situation of those months that we hope to have passed. Situation that we are the first to know is not only medical, but also social and economic”: the Italian surgeons write in an open letter that appeal to all citizens of our country urging them to undergo vaccination against SARS-CoV2.
“You patients have paid too much for this and you are still paying for it – continues the letter – There are not only positive Covid patients, there are chronic, acute, fragile patients, from whom the pandemic has taken away resources and possibilities. There are neoplastic patients for whom continuity of treatments and above all an early diagnosis corresponds in a directly proportional way to better chances of recovery, chance of survival and quality of life. Vaccination against SARS-CoV2 can help reduce the pressure on health systems around the world, including our own. , avoiding to resort again to drastic downsizing measures “.
“We are experiencing a period of uncertainty inherent in this sad pandemic, uncertainties that only by uniting the voices of all interested parties and actors could we somehow overcome – says Ferdinando Agresta, President of Sice – Italian Society of Surgical Endoscopy and New Technologies – For this this is also why we surgeons, professionals apparently in the second line in this war against the virus, want to join our voices with the institutional and non-institutional ones in order to be able, where necessary, to convince and invite people to vaccinate “.
