The number of hospitalizations in the two hospitals in the province is also increasing: 42 in Mazzoni (of which ten in the emergency room) and 52 in Madonna del Soccorso (waiting to also free up medical beds if there is no recourse to private clinics), 20 on Rsa di Ripatransone.
Unions highlight the difficult situation faced by health workers involved in the very difficult fight against Covid. According to the latest data, the figures are very worrying: to date, 156 nurses, doctors and operators will test positive for the Sars Cov2 virus. “Two years have passed since the expiration of the sector contract, despite the fact that the renewal platform has been communicated,” explains Giorgio Cipollini from CISL. “All institutions call health workers heroes and, at the same time, do not open the negotiating table. The happy circumstance found in our territory between March and April has not happened now, on the contrary: the second wave has hit us hard ”, he explains. “The vast Area 5 was not prepared to face the pandemic. There are 11 infected doctors and 156 workers in total, which is equivalent to 8% of the workforce affected by the virus: our staffing is further reduced, with a crazy increase in staff workload, with a serious spiral that it compromises the assistance to the users ”, complains Cipollini.
«The Region clarifies what the plan to contain the pandemic is in this area and adopts a clear and precise measure on the measures to be taken against the pandemic. If this is not done and the appropriate structures are not identified, avoiding the mixture of normal and positive patients, there is a risk that other important outbreaks will be created ”, he says. “We had asked health workers for a bonus of a thousand euros for the March / May period and it seems that it will pass. We intend to meet with the highest regional authorities and, if the appropriate responses are not given, we are ready to take very decisive action, ”Cipollini warns. The RSU coordinator of Vast Area 5 Paolo Villa adds: «The resolution of the previous regional council on the pandemic has not been modified. The plan has not been applied and has been carried out without distinction of any kind and in hospitals the clean and dirty roads are not different, causing an increase in new cases. “The Murg of Ascoli – he continues – cannot host positive patients but there are two intubated patients and another is in the emergency room. Going to the emergency room has become very dangerous because there are patients with Covid and Non-Covid. In addition, 674 nurses have been contacted but only 8 will enter service in December, ”says Villa. In the RSA of Offida there is only one sanitizing shower for 30 operators ”.
Maria Calvaresi of the CGIL points out that “At the moment we are paying for the disorganization of Greater Area 5 that is causing the pandemic to emerge, also thanks to the cuts made over the years. Employees are giving their all without gratitude. We want to meet Acquaroli, Saltamartini and Castelli to understand how to solve this situation, “he explains.” There are also few reagents and the staff makes few swabs. Roberto Fioravanti from CGIL adds that “Too many pathologies have been abandoned because of Covid. Local medicine must be strengthened to reduce the pressure on the Usca hospitals. ” Roberto Simonetti de Uil concludes: “Even cleaning staff are subjected to extreme stress, with crazy shifts and very high risks of infection. The last person hired immediately entered a Covid department without having had any training.
