If you don’t have the money to make a tampon, you can. free thanks to whoever pays it for you. Happens to Naples, to the room Health, where in time of COVID-19 the “suspended buffer“By stealing the name of the custom born at the end of the Second World War of” suspended coffee “, that is, offered to those in need by a customer who pays for two by drinking one, someone thought of applying solidarity also to health care. Starting next Tuesday, inside the basilica of Saint Severus outside the walls (Piazzetta San Severo in Capodimonte), a campaign of covid-screening: the possibility will be offered (strictly by reserving in the specific number 3792151320) to people belonging to less favored social groups to be able to undergo the exam Social cost of 18 euros. An expense that will be cut, thanks to those who want to support the project, donating pads to those who cannot bear the cost.
The idea came to Angelo melone, president of “Sa.Di.Sa”. association that aims to provide valid support in health care, promoting initiatives, prevention and treatment activities, medical conventions and help in cases of medical malpractice: “We start from the belief of stop contagion one is required mass projection to do with affordable prices. From a cost analysis we have understood that a tampon can be sold for 18 euros without any profit so we have chosen to offer the service at this figure ”. Melone knows well the situation in her city and in Campania: taking the exam in the hospital is almost impossible Just like contacting ASL means waiting weeks before you can swab. Result: often those who can afford it turn to individuals where the cost of a tampon reaches up to 90 euros.
“We wanted to send a message: you should not make money from Covid. The government has not put a limit on the cost of tampon in the private sector, but often people cannot afford to pay this money. Even 18 euros for certain families in the neighborhoods poorer people can be an obstacle ”, explains the president of Sa.Di.Sa. Hence the initiative of the”suspended buffer“:” We want to raise awareness – adds Melone – to the world of art, sports, professionals, asking them for a contribution to pamper the families of do it for free. Starting tomorrow we will have the checking account to receive the contributions ”. There is no shortage of reservations: for the first day 100 people have already called and there are 15 tampons offered.
Melone managed to create synergy with some realities: the pharmacy “Me”, The Presidency of the Municipality 3, Mr. Antonio Loffredo parish priest of the “Sanità” neighborhood and the medical leaders of the initiative, Stefano Viglione, Mario Russo and Armando Monfregola. All part of the belief that only through a massive campaign of swabs, with the consequent identification of positive subjects, can an increase in contagion be avoided and, at a time of great economic crisis like the current one, the cost of the swab should be contained. . An information point at the service of citizens will be installed from Saturday in the cloister of the Basilica of Santa Maria alla Sanità, Via Sanità, 124 Naples. Now the initiative could take hold in other cities: “They call me – explains Melone – from all over Italy because they want to replicate our project in their realities”.
