The response of the ASL is “In Valenza dialysis does not close”: but there are no doctors

VALENCE. The dialysis center in Valencia will not close its doors. The ASL argues in a note that arrived yesterday 13 January following news on the closure of the Largo Constitution Center communicated by the provincial referent Aned (National Hemodialysis Association) Marco Bordignon, worried “about the lack of doctors and therefore of a level of assistance not adequate to the needs of those patients “.

«The Valencian dialysis center will continue its activity despite the difficulties linked to the pandemic and the lack of personnel – says the ASL -, as has already been confirmed on numerous other occasions. Patients will be able to continue to use its services without interruption. The Company’s commitment is focused not only on keeping the dialysis center in Valenza active, but also on improving its services, bringing them closer to the highest quality standards ». And this is because the news arrived from the Aned, who had held a specific meeting yesterday, was that “the dozen dialysis patients would be directed to the dialysis of the Santo Spirito di Casale”.

In addition to the denial of the news, however, the ASL does not explain how the situation will be resolved. In Casale, after the retirement of the referent, the nephrologist Giovanni Calabrese, “there are two doctors left – says Calabrese – and one is sick. In Novi, where there were four of them, a doctor got the transfer from 1 February and will be followed a month later by a colleague. In Alexandria, where it was assumed that a doctor paid by tokens would be moved to Casale, the staff was mostly employed on vaccinations ».

The problem remains that of offering a solution to the five to six patients who are brought to Casale three times a week to undergo dialysis. He would like to know. “Unfortunately, the pandemic – adds Bordignon – has complicated an already deficient situation. I wouldn’t want it to drop any further below the safe level. It is the third time that there is talk of temporary closures and patients are increasingly tossed about here and there “.

The explanation, according to the PD councilor Domenico Ravetti and the Valencian PD group leader Davide Varona, lies in the “suspicion of political exploitation, because the electoral promises of the regional health councilor Luigi Icardi and those of the mayor Maurizio Oddone have proved to be groundless. More than maintaining the Valencian health services, we can speak of a real dismantling ». Ravetti announces “a regional question and an inspection to get to the bottom of the problem.”

The mayor Maurizio Oddone, when asked about how the need will be met, limits himself to saying that “the ASL has identified the solution”.
