“The arrival of new Cuban doctors in the Civil Hospital of San Giovanni in Fiore is currently a positive fact”. Declares it in a note The Civic Committee “La Cura”which specifies: «We welcome the graft of these human resources well, which for a limited time will contribute to keeping essential services in life in an already fragile context. However, this is not a structural response to the critical issues and needs of mountain areas ».
“Cuban doctors – the committee specifies – are qualified professionals, but They operate with fixed -term contracts within a hospital network which, defined in 2010 with the start of the government commissioner of Calabrian health, proved to be inadequate to guarantee the right to health in mountain territories “.
«In those years – we still read in the note – the hospitals of the internal areas were heavily dismantled. The current difficulties also derive from serious errors of national governments on the training and recruitment of doctors. The effects of the wrong political ones are today under everyone’s eyes ».
«Shortly – anticipates the civic committee” La Cura ” – We will present a proposal for a law of popular initiative that contemplates the establishment of a single public management company of the Calabrian mountain hospitals and their reconfiguration in Spoke hospitals, with the aim of guaranteeing adequate and timely treatments for local populations “.
«We hope that all the administrations and political and social organizations of the mountain areas, beyond the individual memberships, choose to support this battle of civilization. It is time to put aside the contrasts and – concludes the Committee – to work together to defend the right to health, which remains fundamental ».
