Basically, many sufferers will have to stay at home. With consequent and important health problems. The problem of the lack of vacation places for dialysis patients it is not old, on the contrary. Until before the pandemic, the sick could count on treatments even outside their regionprecisely by virtue of traveling for holidays, but also for work.

It goes without saying that dialysis is one life-saving therapy and it certainly cannot be postponed. The hospitals up until two years ago guaranteed places in all hospitals. Todaymany Regions no longer have the means to ensure care. The alarm comes directly from the SINthe Italian Society of Nephrology.

This year the country is unable to guarantee non-residents the provision of dialysis treatments in most regions

IS what Piergiorgio Messa, President of SIN, states in no uncertain terms. The situation, he adds, is “dramatic”. Among other things, dialysis patients have paid a very high price in terms of their health from the pandemic onwards. A situation of this kind is certainly not tolerable, neither for them nor for other patients who need it urgent or lifesaving care.

Summer dialysis posts alarm for non-residents, what’s going on

The words and “accusations” launched by the President of SIN and by the President of ANED leave no room for doubt. At the moment there are many completely uncovered Regionscompared to a recent past where the 100% coverage. They just “save” themselves Marche, Emilia Romagna and Lazio.

The problem is serious. How will dialysis patients who move for work, family or holidays do? Among other things, in practice, it is already “late”. Certain types of organizations need to be planned in time. Whose is it responsibility? Certainly of a set of factors, as the Presidents of the Associations denounce. “Lack of specialized personnel. But also emergency beds that we had to face to provide assistance to refugees from war zones. This led to an exacerbation of the nephrological structuresā€œ.

All the planttherefore, it seems compromise. Patients have to travel for miles to access treatment. And let’s not forget that summer, for dialysis patients, is the worst time of the year. For healthy people it is already dangerous. In the heat you can suffer from heat exhaustion, dehydration and kidney problems. It is not necessary to be a doctor to understand what the risks may be for some categories of patients.

Unfortunately this is only the least of the problems in the healthcare sector. Already from the beginning of the year various types of shortcomings are reported. There is a lack of nurses, doctors, emergency room staff.

The Pandemic by Covid it highlighted and increased those structural deficiencies that already existed. The extraordinary hires that occurred during the health emergency were all timed determined.

The Regions continue to have spending caps on negligible hiring, which are not enough. Lot of specialists and graduates target the private sector. E in the end, as always, as unfortunately often happens in this country, the most fragile categories are at the expense.
