“A woman with SLA, a man with pancreas tumor in Stadio IV, both abandoned for months by the Reggio Calabria ASP Despite being entitled to economic support and care. A story that shouts revenge and that reveals, once again, the Inhuman face of Calabrian healthcare». The deputy of the 5 Star Movement Vittoria Baldino denounces him in a note, who presented a parliamentary question to health ministers, disabilities and regional affairs, to ask for urgent clarifications and measures on the matter.
“We are talking about Mr. Sergio Carrozza and his wife Radu Ionela Sabina, residing in Taurianova, both seriously sick – he continues – who have been waiting for a response from the Asp of Reggio Calabria for months for access to the fund for non self -sufficiency (Fna), provided for by the law to guarantee support for the most fragile subjects, such as SLA patients and terminal cancer patients. Despite the submission of the application on February 26, 2024 and the publication of the final ranking on February 14, 2025, the couple has not yet received any formal communication. Unacceptable that two people in serious conditions are forced even to resort to a lawyer to obtain a right that should be guaranteed by law ».
“In addition to the lack of access to the FNA – says the parliamentarian – the story worsens: the ASP has not even authorized the speech therapy sessions for Mrs. Radu, essential to contain the symptoms of the ALS, and delays are recorded in the supply of the life -saving drugs. It is an intolerable situation, which denounces a bankruptcy and inhuman management by the Healthcare and the Calabria Region. The question asks the government to intervene immediately to guarantee the recognition of economic and health rights to the couple, as well as an urgent verification of the management of the fund for non self -sufficiency in Calabria, with particular attention to transparency, delivery times and priority for the most serious cases “.
“Calabrian health – concludes Baldino – continues to be a comparison for a centralized management of power, while citizens remain without treatments, without services and without answers. Those who suffer cannot be left alone nor forced to albine rights required by law. The government immediately activates, because no one must ever face, in addition to the disease, the humiliation of institutional abandonment. And precisely to avoid that other families should live this ordeal, I ask the Calabria Region to immediately establish a fund, financed with regional resources and to integrate national resources such as the FNA, constrained exclusively to the economic, health and social support of the Sla patients and their caregivers as already happens in the Tuscany region “.
