“I’ve heard some commentators say that after so many days, I should ‘decide whether or not to accept the assignment.’ I am not in this condition because after those first interviews no formal proposal was made to me ”. Hence the founder of Emergency, Gino Strada, in connection with the appointment of the Health Commissioner in Calabria. “A week ago I received the request from the government to personally commit myself to the health emergency in Calabria – he explained, also on Facebook – I asked for some clarification on the mandate and on the working methods, putting a fundamental condition: I am not available to be a candidate for facing or representing a political party, but I would make my experience available only if the will and conditions for real change existed.
“But I don’t even want to feed the misunderstanding of my indecision,” Strada said again. “As a doctor, I believe that at a time of serious health emergency for our country, everyone should lend a hand and in this spirit I made available my work and that of Emergency, which has been operating for 15 years in many Italian regions, Calabria included “. In the din of the many voices of these days, I also had the opportunity to feel the trust and desire to do so from many citizens, Calabrian and not, nurses and doctors and representatives of institutions, whom I thank for their support and for the gratitude – concludes – that they have demonstrated by my work and the Emergency ”.
