“In the conversations I had with the Prime Minister, Giuseppe ConteThey never asked me to be a commissioner, and neither did I. I don’t see myself in that position either, the Commissioner has skills that I don’t have. I have never discussed this eventuality of my appointment as curator with anyone ”. These are the words of the founder of Emergency, Gino strada, during a press conference called to address the main points of the intervention in Calabria, after a first inspection at the Crotone hospital, at the San Giovanni di Dio hospital.

“I will stay at least all this week, I will see Commissioner Longo in the next few days in Catanzaro. Of course, our contribution it won’t be a commercialI’ll be here like all the ERs, ”Strada continued. “I hope that politics does not affect our work, which is not to get Calabrian healthcare back on track, but to help those who need it now to deal with the Covid emergency. The conditions for work are all there, we will check it in the next few days. “The emergency intervention in Crotone will be active shortly:” This is not a field hospital, we have taken over part of the masonry hospital, we are preparing a Covid room with thirty beds that will be completed in a couple of days and should be enough to cover the demands ”.

Gino Strada also responded to the acting president of Calabria, the Northern League Nino Spirlì, who had attacked him in the days when his name had been evoked as a possible commissioner, after the appointment mess, with the departure of Commissioner Saverio Cotticelli and the controversial statements of his replacement, then resigned, Giuseppe Zuccatelli. “The words of Spirlì? I am not a missionary, much less in Africa. Afghanistan is not in Africa. Although our clinic in Polistena is located in Calabria, it has been open and has been operating for several years, despite the fact that the current president has never noticed it ”, he interrupted.
To then invoke the return of efficient public healthcare, especially in Calabria: “Here it is evanescent, the private offer is rich, for a fee. I believe that private health has the right to citizenship, as long as it respects the laws. But you should play your part with your own money, not with public health money“A link, that between public and private health, which for Strada must also be broken to eliminate the mafias, which, as the latest investigations confirm, have always infiltrated (and not only) the Calabrian health system. “Today the first step is to make a clear separation between public health and the rest. It is necessary to break this link so that anyone who intends to invest in private health, the first thing he does is sign an agreement with the national health system , to be able to act as a private individual, using public health money. break that bond You will realize that investments in the health sector will be much lower by those who want to earn money, by those who have problems with politics and also with The underworld
