There is silence about the Radiology department not working at the Outpatient Clinic in via Ponte Nuovo. The spontaneous citizens’ committee for the protection of public health Città delle Terme has denounced it once again.
For members, “those who know don’t speak and those who have to intervene don’t intervene”. A complaint, that against the top management of the Provincial Health Authority of Cosenza, which is even more vigorous precisely because, during a meeting that was held about a month at the office of the Asp of Cosenza, the top management, had assured “with triumphalistic tones” – the Committee emphasizes – to local administrators, that the problem would be solved. A hope that lasted the space of a day and in the memory of a snapshot but then the traces of this promise were largely lost. “In fact – the spontaneous Committee of citizens for the protection of public health Città delle Terme emphasizes – the citizens of the Municipality of Cassano are forced to turn to other health facilities or private structures. All this happens, with the complicity of local and regional institutions”. The suspension of the service, in fact, is a further blow to the already fragile health situation, where continuous disservices are recorded daily to the detriment of the poor people. For the members of the active citizenship group, the problem could be solved by recalling the former radiologist manager «who – they underline – as far as we know has already made himself available to the Provincial Health Authority of Cosenza, given that for other critical issues contracts are being stipulated to deal with the various emergencies» while Cassano, from the point of view of health, seems to be a land abandoned to its own fate.
