“This day of work – said Emiliano – serves to know how the hospital has met the new university faculty and how it is organizing itself. As all Apulian citizens know, we are looking for doctors everywhere, as if they were football players. We chase them and woo them, we try to get them to come even in the most complex places, from Gargano to Salento. The whole emergency-urgency system is subjected to formidable stress, but even in ordinary business there is difficulty in finding doctors of all specialties. And the specialists in the area serve to relieve the pressure of the hospitals also for the check-ups. “
“This is why the Puglia Region – continued the President of the Region – has strongly stimulated public universities, but also private ones, to open up to this strategic investment, which serves to graduate doctors in Puglia and specialize them in Puglia, so that they remain work in our hospitals. ”
“The problem is national, not only from Puglia. The reaction of the Puglia Region was very strong, both by investing its own resources and by using the good will of private individuals, in this case of the Miulli hospital. Three new medical faculties have been opened, one Med-Tech in Lecce, one in Taranto by the University of Bari, and this one by Miulli with the LUM. Today’s visit – concluded Emiliano – is therefore to say thank you to everyone for the work done by the Miulli Hospital and the LUM University to give safety to Puglia in the years to come ”.
“The Region – said the Regional Health Councilor, Rocco Palese – is strongly interested in training, which concerns not only the medical part, but all health professions: there are 19 of them. We need high professionalism and this initiative coincides with an advanced phase of the procedural and legislative process for the recognition of a university company from part of the Miulli Hospital “.
“The technical structure – said the director of the Health Promotion Department, Vito Montanaro – has the duty to best implement the strategies that the Policy transmits as a guideline. The Department is working to achieve these objectives aimed at improving the regional health system, both from the training and health aspects ”.
“It is the characterization and completion of a path that defines the process of the Miulli university hospital company – explained the medical director of the Miulli Hospital, Vitangelo Dattoli -. We are at the start of the Nursing course with 120 students, and in the second year of Medicine and Surgery, where we have gone from 90 to 120 students. Today we visited the places and classrooms for didactic activities and where the new highly integrated didactic and laboratory center will be developed, in collaboration with the LUM university “.
