HEALTH & POLICY
Contagions and hospitalizations to a minimum, the Piedmont Region converts its Covid Hospitals which will return to pre-pandemic activities. The councilor for health Icardi: “Full operation also for other pathologies”
The Piemonte region authorizes the reconversion of all Covid-hospitals so that they can return to their ordinary activities, with the consequent reopening of all the emergency rooms and first aid points still closed. “The significant reduction in Covid hospitalizations – observes the Piedmont Regional Health Councilor, Luigi Genesio Icardi – finally allow us to return to full operation on the health supply front for diseases other than the Coronavirus “. The clear separation of Covid and no-Covid paths remains guaranteed.
“The individual ASLs were asked to provide for the conversion of Covid hospitals within the strictly necessary technical times, identifying adequate human resources – adds Icardi -. We owe particular gratitude to those territories which have been asked for an unconditional contribution in the most dramatic moments of the health emergency, adapting their health facilities to the interest of the community ”.
“Returning to normality also means returning to heal people. In this year and a half people have also fallen ill with other diseases and, alas, the Covid effect has meant that all non-time dependent diseases were somehow put behind the Covid emergency – he commented. Alberto Cirio after receiving the first dose of vaccine at Verduno hospital -. Today, on the other hand, we are returning to normal health care and assistance ”.
