Among the interventions also the purchase of defibrillators and technological instrumentation for i Emergency Assistance Centers (CAU)which are opening throughout the regional territory and are part of the broader reorganization of local primary care and the emergency-urgency system of Emilia-Romagna.
“The health needs – explain the President of the Region, Stefano Bonacciniand the councilor for health policies, Raffaele Donini– they change and we need to intervene to improve the provision of care and assistance for our communities, also taking into account the economic-financial sustainability of the regional health service. In the absence of state resources, once again it is the Region that intervenes, thanks also to its own resources coming from the breach of the hospital pharmaceutical spending ceiling”.
“For some time now, the resources allocated to public health have been inadequate and it is the Regions that are responsible for investments that maintain high levels of services provided – add Bonaccini and Donini -. We are not backing down, but we need a change of pace. Part of the resources that the Region has allocated are intended for the Assistance and Urgency Centres, which are opening in recent weeks throughout the territory: it is an innovative healthcare model in which we are confidently investing also from the point of view of instrumentation”.
