We decided to create the Medical Center in the early months of 2020, a center of excellence for the quality of specialists and for the state-of-the-art equipment, accelerating its construction to put as little burden as possible on the health system, so indispensable and under pressure due to the pandemic. “.” I am particularly proud to have been invited to this inauguration. Healthcare – explained the President of the Lazio Region, Nicola Zingaretti – must always be in first place. The pandemic has taught us that a functioning health system is essential for dealing with any type of emergency. I therefore believe that initiatives such as these, which address categories of workers committed to operating an essential service such as that of Poste Italiane, are able to increase the safety not only of employees and their families, but also of all citizens. An example that I hope will be replicated. Health is a right that must be guaranteed. In every place and in every moment “.
