Two hundred patients in twenty days arrived from the red zone of Campania in the “yellow” Lazio. It is the ASL of Latina that denounces the case to the judicial authority. Il Messaggero tells today in an article signed by Lorenzo De Cicco that in the Latina police station there is a list with the first 27 names of citizens of Naples or Caserta who crossed the border to go to be treated in a hospital in southern Pontino.
The positive aspects of Campania fleeing to be hospitalized in Lazio
Among these, ironically, there are also those who arrive just because they have a cough, as emergency doctors from Formia, the closest to the border, tell the newspaper. But not only them, since a total of 116 arrived from November 4 to 11; and last Monday 30% of the accesses to the emergency room corresponded to patients from outside the region. Among these are those who arrived with the oxygen cylinder placed in the car seat, while others have spent a thousand or two thousand euros to be transported in a private ambulance. And with the passage of Campania from the yellow to the red zone, the situation has not improved, on the contrary: that is why the ASL has begun to send reports to the Police Headquarters.
Giorgio Casati, general director of the Latin ASL, explains what is happening: “On November 13 and 14 the number of accesses from outside the region had dropped, also because news of these abnormal movements began to circulate. But already from the 15th the data grew again, especially in the Formia hospital. “On Monday, 16 patients arrived from Campania to the small emergency room in southern Pontino. The problem is above all legal, given that the Dpcm The current law provides for the possibility of displacement for health reasons and the news about Cardarelli and other collapsed Neapolitan hospitals could justify the displacement.
Finally, explains Casati, there are those who arrive in Lazio only because of a stomachache and cough and are returned without being hospitalized. But not only that: two days ago a 48-year-old man who arrived from Piedimonte Matese in the province of Caserta died at the Cassino hospital after arriving by hiring a private ambulance. “Even before we did the Covid swab, he already showed all the symptoms of interstitial pneumonia,” Pierpaola D’Alessandro, director of Frosinone ASL, told Messaggero. intensive. He stayed there for 6 days, then sadly passed away. Should he have been treated first in the hospital, in Campania?
