In an effort to tackle Italy’s long-standing issue of lengthy waiting lists for medical services, Minister of Health Orazio Schillaci announced that a decree aimed at reducing these wait times is expected to be unveiled within the next 15 days.
Speaking at a programmatic conference of Fratelli d’Italia in breaking latest news, Schillaci emphasized the government’s commitment to finding concrete solutions to the problem of waiting lists. He acknowledged that waiting lists have been a persistent problem in Italy and stated, “We will try to reduce waiting lists, they are a long-standing Italian problem.”
Schillaci highlighted the lack of a centralized system for monitoring waiting lists in Italy and emphasized the need for a comprehensive approach to address the issue. He expressed the government’s intention to implement a system that would allow for monitoring of waiting lists on a regional basis, with central management to identify and address areas where services are lacking.
The forthcoming decree is expected to outline measures to combat waiting lists and improve access to medical services for Italian citizens. The Minister’s announcement has been met with anticipation and hope for positive change in the country’s healthcare system.
