Campania without doctors, De Luca: “Ask Meloni”

The governor is freewheeling on healthcare: "Disconcerting, soon there won't be doctors to open the emergency rooms"

NAPLES – “Is there a lack of healthcare personnel? You will have to tell Meloni this who instead of sending us the doctors, sends us the name. We have been fighting for two years now, we have explained to everyone that there will soon be no doctors to open the emergency rooms But there is no awareness of the dramatic nature of the situation and it is frankly disconcerting.” This was explained by the president of the Campania Region Vincenzo DeLuca who participated today in the inauguration of the new CT scan at the Gaetano Fucito Hospital in Mercato San Severino (Sa). “We have just concluded a single regional competition to search for emergency doctors throughout the regional territory – recalled the governor of Campania – and in the end we have found around fifty doctors for all the regional structures. We will have some breathing space, but not This is the solution to the problem.”

“THE SOLUTION? DOUBLE THE SALARY FOR DOCTORS” OF THE EMERGENCY”

“The solution – remarked De Luca – is to double the salaries for emergency doctors, who do absolutely strenuous work, reduce the age pensionable, allow young doctors, graduates attending specialization schools, to have permanent contracts to be used immediately in hospital facilities

THE NUMBER CLOSED TO MEDICINA

“And then, erase this shame of the restricted number in Medicine. They made an announcement but, as always happens with this government, they stopped at the announcement.” “Every year – continues the President of the Region – 20 thousand doctors leave Italyeither due to retirement or because they go to other parts of the world where they have salaries that they are triple compared to Italy. If they go ahead with differentiated autonomy, healthcare in the South is dead: differentiated autonomy means that the Northern Regions will be able to make, in addition to the national employment contract, also regional contracts that are they add to the national ones and, having the resources, they can double or triple the salaries of the staff. So the South is dead, beyond all the talk.”
