Covid today Italy, Sardinia hospitalization alarm: “Worst Mass in all of Italy”

Covid Italy today, emergency doctors sound the alarm on Sardinia “the Region risks the collapse of the system”. The Italian Society of Emergency Medicine (Simu) highlights for the Sardinian emergency system, “the unsustainability of managing alone a situation of help to citizens for those who work in an emergency, despite the repeated alarms launched over time, this is testified by the resignation with immediate effect from 21 December presented by seven doctors of the Nuoro emergency room – underlines Simeu – A decision as striking as it is necessary, the last possible gesture to attract the attention of those who have not wanted to listen to the numerous and constructive requests for support. Certainly a painful and unprecedented choice “.

First of all because we are an island and non-Sardinian people hardly choose to come and practice their profession here. Even young doctors who have specialized in Sardinia, we remind you that the access lists to specialty schools are national, once they have finished their studies they return to their own regions. with a very low number of emergency doctors or equivalent branches that could cover roles in our emergency departments. Furthermore, the Region and Ats are not making progress to favor a redistribution, the displacement of professionals from those hospitals where the staff are not they are certainly optimal but at least discreet, to buffer the situations of the weakest conditions that occur between Nuoro and Oristan or. Both suffering “. Simeu recalls the seriousness of some cases.” In Cagliari, the emergency room of the Santissima Trinità hospital has been closed, once again converted into the Covid hospital. The doctors of that emergency room were sent to the two emergency departments of the city hospitals and not to Nuoro or Oristano, where a real emergency is underway which, moreover, has not been a mystery to anyone “. This” was the final straw. has made the camel’s back overflow – continues Manca -. The situation is very serious because Oristano and Nuoro are provinces with a catchment area of ​​almost 180 thousand people. Add to this the fact that 30 per cent of general practitioner posts are vacant. Without general practitioners, citizens go to the emergency room. And the workload increases and the quality of the service can only be penalized “.
