CATANZARO Someone from the Department of Health of the Calabria Region has modified the data on the number of Covid patients hospitalized in intensive care, which arrive daily from hospitals and health agencies in the Region, to later be transmitted to the Ministry of Health. It happened, in fact, with those sent by the Annunziata hospital in Cosenza, whose number was retouched by someone who entered the computer system, making them go from 14 to 2. “On Tuesday, November 3, like every afternoon, I sent the Health Authority the number of patients admitted to my Unit, a total of 14 people – explains Pino Pasqua, head of resuscitation at the Annunziata -. Ten were in intensive care, two in intensive care, the latter were less serious because they have a different need, they collaborate, they have less invasive ventilation.
The little hand
The data, sent to the Office of the Special Care Continuity Unit, headed by Dr. Mario Marino, was compiled with other data from the territory. “At 1 in the afternoon I sent the email of the daily situation to the Health Department of the Calabria Region and verified that it had been read”, says Gabriella De Luca, in charge of managing the daily traffic of patients hospitalized in intensive care in the district of Cosenza. Once processed by the system, the data was entered in the regional bulletin and sent on the afternoon of Tuesday, November 3 by the Ministry of Health. In the evening, however, the Calabria Region issued a new bulletin on data on intensive care hospitalizations where it canceled the number of Covid patients arriving from the Cosenza hospital, going from 14 to 2. A decision that would have been made in total autonomy, without informing the head of Oliva Resuscitation or those responsible for Cosentina ASP.
The general director
Someone, in fact, on behalf of the regional bureaucracy, has manipulated the data. For what reason? The director general of the Department of Health, Francesco Bevere, whom we asked why, let us know, through his secretary, “that these are especially difficult days and, therefore, he cannot listen to us.” Some of the executives, however, who want to remain anonymous, even argue that the “little hand” who manipulated the data would have done so to avoid increasing the number of hospitalizations in intensive care to avoid the red zone in Calabria. , dictated, as the Government has established, in harmony with the Calabria region by the constant increase in the number of hospitalizations.
