Reasoning territorial health, especially in a region like Calabria, commissioned for 16 years, and in a city like Reggio, it is never enough. The problems are certainly not lacking, and perhaps the solutions and choices of the current regional government, and above all of the national one, do not go towards the right direction.
Because of this The Territorial Group of the Five Star Movement Reggino organized yesterday a meeting-debate with the major exponents, between parliamentarians and local administrators, of the movement in Calabria. In the room of the mayors of Palazzo San Giorgio, there were the pentastellate parliamentarians Laura Orrico, Vittoria Baldino and Andrea Quartini, the former senator and current provincial coordinator Giuseppe Auddino, the former general manager of the Asp of Reggio Santo Gioffrè, the former provincial secretary of Uil, Nuccio Azzarà and the journalist Elisa Barresi.
The debate opened the mayor Giuseppe Falcomatà who defined Calabria “the home of the commissioners. Which should only be a parenthesis in the democratic life of a country, and instead here they represent the normality more and more ». Speaking of the absence of interinstitutional dialogue, Falcomatà has mentioned the lack of comparison on the institution of the Faculty of Medicine and Surgery, from which the Metropolitan City and the Municipality were excluded.
So what solutions? A proposal for Calabrian health “which force the public system and ousted the policy from decisions concerning management and then affect the life of citizens – said the parliamentarian and regional coordinator of the M5S, Laura Orrìco – but above all restore transparency and truth about contracts and funding provided to private health, which certainly has the right to exist, but must not replace
Health under attack. A health that sees Calabria outside the national health system. These were the ideas that emerged. For the Hon. Andrea Quartini, healthcare must return to being a gestural from the state: “This is a context – he said – particularly delicate. Calabria is a region in itself left behind compared to the others. And the commissioners were served to anything ». So you have to do something. «But not by manipulating the data, how this government is doing. – Quartini recalled – it is not true that they put more money. The weight of health on the gross domestic product was much lower this year “.
For the former manager Santo Gioffré, “we are already outside the regional health system. Not because of a bad God, but for a system that passing through normal control systems has not worked as elsewhere. And perhaps we should understand why of the ten regions subjected to the return plan, only Calabria has failed to return ».
It is certainly not a completely negative panorama. “We must recognize that there are professionals with a capital ‘P’ in healthcare – said Vittoria Baldino – to whom our thanks goes. Because working in a public hospital is not easy and we must recognize the commitment of these people, and speak, beyond the slogans related to Calabria, what it does not work and what can be done. Without being misleading by mass distraction operations ».
