Bellantone (Gemelli): “Excellence in Cefalù to prevent health tourism”

“It will be something more than a collaboration. When we talk about partnership we mean a real fusion between Gemelli and the Giglio Foundation on some specialties in which together we will create an excellent healthcare system aimed at preventing ‘health tourism’, which is a problem for Italy and for the southern regions in particular. We are here to ensure that Sicilians learn to be treated well here in Sicily “. This is how Rocco Bellantone, director of the Gemelli Ircss Center for Endocrine Surgery and Obesity in Rome and director of the Gemelli Giglio Medical Partnership clinical government, speaking with journalists on the sidelines of the presentation, in Cefalù, of the collaboration between the Gemelli Foundation and the Foundation Lily of Cefalù. “We set ourselves the ambitious goal of entering those thousands of patients who unfortunately go to other Italian regions every year from Sicily to be treated – he added – We enter with confidence in the Giglio Foundation because we know that the Foundation already provides excellent healthcare. “. Bellantone explained that there will be three / four doctors of the Gemelli team who will be stable at Giglio di Cefalù “and as many who will come periodically for both visits and surgery”.
