Covid in Naples, family doctor quick swabs at first: drive-in withdrawals



[ad_1]

Quick buffers in Naples, come on: withdrawals will take place in traction and traction structures installed by Civil Protection, security department of the Municipality of Naples, in three parking lots in strategic areas of the city. To the east in the old fruit and vegetable market (Grimaldi car park) for districts 31-32 and 33, to the west in the area adjacent to the old Mario Argento sports hall in Fuorigrotta, under the jurisdiction of districts 24-25-26 and 27, and to the north in the area adjacent to the Chiaiano metro station (for health districts 28-29 and 30). General practitioners, their continuity care companions (medical guards), 118 physicians and white coats in training for general medicine participate in the sampling activities. From the inspections carried out in recent days, the possibility of electrical connection was verified. For the assembly of each tent it is necessary the help of about ten volunteers and no less than three hours of work. At the same time, preventive inhibition by ANM of these areas within parking lots is foreseen. All three areas are closed and guarded.

After the agreement signed a week ago in the Region and as a result of the agreement signed at the national level, general practitioners, therefore, starting in the next few days, will submit their patients, where they deem appropriate, to rapid antigenic swabs with samples nasopharyngeal or saliva. “Those who have space and possibilities can also use their own study – warns Pina Tommasielli, a member of the regional crisis and medical unit with operational headquarters in Soccavo – I have the spaces, I usually carry out the sanitization and I have organized to carry out tests in the my study. The participation of general medicine to the project is guaranteed, which is obliged to carry out swabs, although within the networks of Aft doctors (territorial functional aggregations) with the possibility also of making use of colleagues from the area of ​​primary medicine. In the event that doctors cannot participate, people will have freedom of choice, but the test will be carried out by another doctor.. The swabs will be useful for a correct differential diagnosis with flu syndromes.

Tommasielli’s choice to use his own studio is an exception: one of the conditions of the regional agreement is, in fact, the choice of open places for tests: squares, mobile structures, large rooms made available by municipalities or, as in this case, tense structures under construction. The objective is to guarantee the safety of the routes. Each tampon will be rewarded to the doctors with 18 euros. The only thing that general practitioners will have to guarantee in their charge is vigilance (3 euros per swab will go to the security guard). The owners of the agreement can sell the business to younger doctors in training, medical guards, Usca, doctors from 118. “Even if the executor is another doctor or the study nurse,” warns Luigi Sparano, regional secretary of Fimmg. , the main union signatory to the regional agreement – the patient will be sent and the test will always be reserved by his own doctor. The tents should be erected at the end of this week while waiting for the regional decree that will regulate the activities tomorrow. «The task of the Fimmg – Sparano concludes – as the first signatory of the agreement, is to guarantee the performance of tests with safe routes. We have also guaranteed the participation of general medicine in this healthcare function, reaffirming its centrality ».

Meanwhile, like family doctors, pharmacists also ask to have priority access to the Covid vaccine that is on the front line. “Pharmacists work every day to meet the needs of the community also by being in close contact with the public, which represents a very high risk category – writes the president of the Order of Naples, Vincenzo Santagada, in a letter to the Regional Crisis Unit – it is clear that this category must also be protected considering that if a pharmacist or one of his collaborators remains infected, despite himself, the pharmacy must be closed.
