The ophthalmology surgical rooms of the Grand Metropolitan Hospital of Reggio Calabria are changing their face. The speech was presented today by the Extraordinary Commissioner, Dr. Tiziana Frittelli, in the presence of Dr. Gerardo Dominijanni, Attorney General of the Republic of Reggio Calabria, by Dr. Francesco Araniti, acting Company Administrative Director, of prof. Livio Giulio Marco Franco, director of the Ophthalmology Unit, as well as numerous civil, military authorities and hospital staff.
“First of all I would like to thank Prof. Franco, a high level professional, who has recently been joined by an additional and valid medical director”, began the Commissioner. “This intervention – he continued – is part of a broader framework of reprogramming of hospital spaces: after having created the operating rooms of the Obstetrics and Gynecology unit and the angiography rooms, today we present the new operating rooms of the Ophthalmology department”.
An important and strategic step, which also responds to the need to create new spaces to finally realize the expansion of the Emergency Department. “We have freed up the old ophthalmology operating rooms adjacent to the Emergency Room, to create the new “Holding” area that can make it more welcoming and comfortable; we are currently working on renovating the facade, also in view of the upcoming Next Gen ATP Finals. Our mission does not change: we want to build a hospital that is increasingly usable for citizens”.
Prof. then spoke. Franco: “Thank you for the kind words, which push us to improve and increase our ability to respond to the increasingly numerous requests of the territory. This intervention equips us with new generation instruments and operating rooms which will allow us to carry out more sophisticated and complex operations. Today we are therefore able to guarantee procedures for which patients once turned elsewhere.”
The area dedicated to the new operating rooms:
* Area of intervention: approximately 345 m2;
* Renovation of the former surgical block pavilion of the “Riuniti” PO, block F;
* Construction of two operating rooms;
* Installation, serving the rooms, of two refrigeration units, two air handling units (UTA) and a new aeraulic system, to guarantee a microclimate and air changes suitable for surgical activity;
* New system complete with all the medical gases necessary to carry out the surgical activity.
For the construction of the new operating rooms, the Extraordinary Commissioner thanked the staff of the Technical Asset Management UOC, directed by the engineer. Carmelo Giuseppe Fera, for the extraordinary work done, of which she said she was proud. The presentation concluded with the usual ribbon cutting, followed by the blessing given by Don Stefano Iacopino.
