In the ministry there is a fight over the pandemic plan. Sileri: “Doctors sent to death”

The leaders of the Ministry of Health “by not applying and updating the pandemic plan for 13 years have gotten doctors and nurses into trouble.” This is what the Deputy Minister of Health, Pierpaolo Sileri, says in an interview with the press. The deputy minister harshly attacks the “prevention directors who have alternated in these 13 years and have drawn up a plan for the flu pandemic without even applying it or even updating it in light of the epidemics that have occurred throughout this time, like sars, mers, avian. The Report program has pointed the finger at the current deputy director of the European section of the WHO, Ranieri Guerra. But here there is a general neglect and carelessness, people who have sent hundreds to die of doctors and nurses, to whom no one has ever taken a course and no exercise. I await my resignation and apologies from all those who have changed hands over the years. I have not yet discussed this with the Minister. I hope that think like me “.

To respond to Sileri’s words, the Radio Anch’io microphones, is Sandra Zampa, Undersecretary of Health: “Sileri is not attacking, it does not seem to me, at a pandemic level I think it is necessary for the Ministry to clarify well and I believe what will he do”. “The pandemic plan is there – he declared -. If there is no new one, there is the previous one, delivered long ago to the Regions that had received the indications and those are valid, that plan is there and no one has ever denied it.” . “Once the story is clarified – he said – it will also show the excess of dramatization.”
