Since the epidemiological situation is back under control, all these visits have also been restarted. and health services that were skipped due to the coronavirus emergency. But it is not just an exam or a cure: we are talking about almost 18 million actions performed. Be placed due to the pandemic. To denounce these worrisome figures is the national secretary of the union of outstanding doctors Anaao Assomed, Carlo Palermo: “The extension of the waiting lists runs the risk of becoming a major crisis of public confidence in the SNS. The Covid 19 epidemic has forced hospitals to focus their activities on emergencies and patients affected by the virus. Most of the ordinary activities have been suspended and today expectations are measured in semesters, if not years, in some regions. 13 million visits to specialists have been suspended, 300,000 hospitalizations have not been carried out, 500,000 surgeries have been postponed and 4 million cancer examinations have been postponed“he said in a video posted on Facebook.
Still: “We run the risk of worsening the prognosis of all citizens who are forced to continue waiting and for this we need urgent intervention from the Government.Palermo stresses that first of all new hires are needed: “We have repeatedly denounced staff shortages, from 2010 to 2018 an estimated 40,000 jobs have been cut in the NHS. All precarious contracts that have been activated to deal with the epidemic must stabilize quickly“.
For the national secretary of Anaao Assomed it is also important “raise funds intended for additional productivity“Then he explains:”500 million is foreseen in the August decree but it is not enough based on the numbers I mentioned and therefore we should probably double them, if not triple them. We need to increase investment in hospitals because we must remember that ordinary activities have been suspended due to the age of our hospitals, for not providing for the separation between infected and non-infected patients.“.
