The shortage of doctors in hospital wards worries (and not a little) the commissioner structure and the Health Department of the Region. The imminent arrival of summer risks exacerbating the emergency in structures already put to the test every day by the enormous load of patients seeking treatment. There is an urgent need to take action to ensure standards of health care at least sufficient, even more so in the most disadvantaged areas.
Faced with a dramatic situation, the solution devised by the leaders of the structure that guides Calabrian healthcare would be that of obtain the recognition of Calabria as a “disadvantaged area”. If the carabinieri, the policemen, the magistrates who come to work between the Pollino and the Strait have a career economic recognition – this is the reasoning carried out on the upper floors of the Citadel – because Calabria is a disadvantaged area, the doctors must also have it. Hence the idea of agreeing a regulatory provision with the Ministry of Economy, to be included in one of the measures that will shortly be examined in Parliament, aimed at guaranteeing a system of incentives for those who choose to carry out their professional activity in hospitals and clinics in Calabria. This would be the way, at least in the intentions of Roberto Occhiuto and his closest collaborators, to face a paradoxical situation, with the recruitment of doctors proceeding at a snail’s pace due to the lack of specialists willing to invest their future in this land. .
