The test was so “fast” that it only lasted one day: “we expressly deny starting this activity independently”. Thus, the Regional Health Directorate gave a “negative” result to the execution of the rapid diagnostic tests for Covid-19 in the Igea Pharmacies in Rome, which last Monday launched “the agreement that the Lazio Region itself signed with Federfarma “. We got equipped immediately and instead they stopped us immediately ”, Dr. María Catena Ingria opens her arms, as of today forced to suspend the execution of the tests.
But the regional councilor for Health, Alessio D’Amato, has just announced that “Lazio pharmacies are starting with rapid antigenic tests and serological tests according to the regional agreement”: so why are they stopping?
“Ask the councilor, because we have not been given any official reason for our certified mail sent last week, immediately after the Region-Federfarma agreement. We immediately responded favorably to the request for a statement of availability made by the Region itself, applying what was requested in a meticulous way, starting from the fixed rate of 22 euros ”.
So what is the problem that leads you to fail testing today?
“They never responded to that pec. And then, confident that we had done everything according to the rules, we applied the principle of silence-assent, starting on Monday with the tests with an equipped study, complete with 2 doctors taking turns, the nurses and the secretary. We have completed 56, with so many requests for the next few days that now we have had to suspend ”.
Waiting for what?
“The correction of the error by the Region. Because it is they who have not complied with the agreement requested from pharmacies to help and alleviate this great chaos generated in the different drive-ins. Here people found a regular service without delays or queues. With guaranteed distance and timely results. “
So, will it challenge the determination of the Region?
Of course, but not for interest, because with the controlled rate, costs cannot even be covered, but in principle: this waiting stop is not acceptable, they write “access credentials”. But we have the credentials recognized by 40 years of honorable service in the field: the Region must come and check if it wants to, but let those who have the qualifications and the means operate instead of keeping quiet, as Federfarma did, leaving us completely alone in this battle of principles ”.
