Call for Immediate Action on Health Services in Naples

“The time has come to put an end to this matter. Enough with the delays. We want the respect of a law approved 16 months ago. We want an increase in health services for the citizens. We are not interested in anything else and it is useless,” says Luigi D’Emilio, leader of the Cisl Public Function of the metropolitan area of Naples, sounding yet another alarm on the first polyclinic and calling for a truth operation. “Beyond - says the head of the category - the statements made by the rector Gianfranco Nicoletti to Il Mattino, there is a fact. The Vanvitelli is the only one of the 3 university hospital companies not yet having signed the memorandum of understanding with the Region to enter the health care network. We would not want it to be for reasons far from the legitimate interests of the staff and citizens. The stalemate produced by the rector has very serious consequences starting from the hundreds of beds not activated and the block of professional growth of doctors and compartment staff.” D'Emilio insists: “The same non-opening of the emergency room cries out for vengeance and is also the result of the failure to launch the University Hospital Company integrated with the Regional Health Service, despite the regional law having already defined in December 2022 the signing of agreements, in the absence of which the financing of the Regional Health Fund would be interrupted.” “The Region,” concludes General Secretary D’Emilio, “put an end to this impasse, as was done for the Federico II and San Giovanni di Dio-Ruggi d’Aragona, and also make this facility operational on an assistance level, which the city desperately needs given the dramatic conditions of health in Naples and its metropolitan area.”
