Final Steps in the Approval of a New Business Model for Policlinico Hospital by Campania Region and Federico II University

The approval of the protocol between the Campania Region and Federico II University on the new business model of the Policlinico Hospital is nearing completion. The text is under the scrutiny of the Academic Senate, which must give the final green light to the signature that will start the transformation of the structure's mission. "We have been fighting for years," emphasizes Luigi D'Emilio, leader of the Cisl Public Function of Naples, "to achieve this goal, and now that we are finally there, we will constantly monitor to ensure that the bureaucratic process closes soon and immediately, without any further waste of time since it has been 14 months since the Regional Council decided the transformation of the university hospital companies. Ready once again to deploy every useful mobilization initiative to counter opposing positions that aim to defend the small privileges they have enjoyed all these years." The Cisl Fp has made this goal an absolute priority, in consideration of the fact that the agreement will allow to open emergency rooms also in the current universities increasing the offer of emergency urgency, to use the 700 beds currently stopped between the first and second policlinico and proceed with the unlocking of hires, to date limited to 25% of the turnover. "The relaunch of the university hospital companies," adds the Fp general secretary of the metropolitan area, "goes through the agreement, because without the care function they have no future. At the same time, if the possibilities of accessing healthcare are not expanded, the citizens of Naples are destined to increasingly deal with terrifying waiting lists and with the consequent risk of not intervening in time in the fight against diseases, as unfortunately the data on mortality confirm to us that in our territory there is a life expectancy of two and more years less compared to the North. We are facing absolute rights," concludes D'Emilio, "which confirm to us the certainty that Rector Lorito will not be swayed by non-existent reasons and will strive to quickly have the yes of the Academic Senate."
