The Assl: “There are no conditions, the shortages of medical personnel have not been resolved”
LA MADDALENA. The Medicine Department of the Paolo Merlo hospital has not reopened. The prefect’s order sent to the Olbia Assl to proceed with the immediate reopening was not followed up. The doors will remain locked until a date to be defined. The M5s regional councilor, Roberto Li Gioi, denounced the situation.
“While only yesterday, July 27, the news of the imminent reopening of the Medicine Department of the Paolo Merlo Hospital was given, today we learn with disbelief and dismay that the doors of the department will remain locked until a date to be defined – reports Li Gioi – . Received on 27 July the internal provisions by the Extraordinary Commissioner of the Assl Francesco Logias, following the meeting with the heads of the Prefecture and Cgil Public function, who ordered the reopening of the closed department for 28 July, therefore for the following day, the medical director of the Assl of Olbia, Elvira Solinas, communicated that it is not possible to follow up on the instructions received, both for the short period of time and because the serious shortages of medical personnel in internal medicine and in the emergency room which led to the temporary suspension of hospitalizations have not been resolved. In any case, the manager reserves the right to evaluate, jointly with the management of the Health Professions Service, the feasibility of the new organizational structure indicated by the Area management and, if necessary, the time necessary to make it operational “.
Li Gioi judges what happened “of unprecedented gravity and humiliates Maddalena citizens for the umpteenth time, deprived again of the right to health. The Maddalenini cannot continue to be tossed around and forced to suffer the internal diatribes of the regional health system which in this case, in particular, have led to a type of illusory communication that has actually turned into a mockery. The island has been experiencing an absolutely intolerable situation since time immemorial, in which the only city hospital has been at the center of a devious dismantling for years ».
