Healthcare Crisis in Campania: A Deep Dive into Structural Failures

"Patients being parked on stretchers in our hospitals no longer even surprise us," admits Aurelio Tommasetti, a regional councilor of Campania for the Lega party. What happened in Sarno, faithfully documented by videos and images circulated on social networks and gone viral, is just a glimpse into a context, that of Campania and the province of Salerno, affected by a structural crisis. It hurts to witness the suffering of people who, due to a lack of beds, are forced to wait their turn abandoned in the corridors - he explains - But the real problem is the repetitiveness: we have denounced similar scenes in Nocera Inferiore, at the Ruggi of Salerno, and often before us, the cameras of the national televisions arrived to bear witness to the degradation. Disturbing facts to which, Tommasetti specifies, we must not get used to anyway. The councilor continues: "It is not easy to remain optimistic in the face of the discomforts that many patients live daily in the healthcare facilities of our territory, despite De Luca's commercials. Just take a tour of the emergency rooms to understand that the healthcare in Campania is a model in reverse. But this must make us even more determined in denunciations, and above all in building a serious alternative proposal, to get out of a tunnel of inefficiency and disservices that have nothing to do with the care of the citizen."
