Ua permanent garrison of parents of transplanted children in Santa Lucia, in front of the headquarters of the Campania Region. "President De Luca continues not to receive us - says Dafne Palmieri, spokesperson for the Committee of parents of heart transplanted children - From tomorrow there will be a permanent garrison of ours in We are desperate". "The situation is clearly absurd - she states - two children hospitalized in the Cardiac Surgery department for adults waiting for a transplant in a hospital where transplant activity is suspended". The only "guarantee" for the two children "is the experience and good will of the staff in the absolute lack of a functional organization". But there are many, she says, "children and young people who have already received transplants whose care is affected by a precarious organizational and logistical dimension". “We are not the only ones saying this,” he stressed. “The Colli Company said and wrote it on September 25th and then the Region on October 17th. Yet they are stuck on the measures that they themselves declared to be extremely urgent and indispensable.” “If they cannot guarantee safety here,” he added, “they should immediately arrange for the transfer to an organized center.” The parents, gathered in the Committee, are represented by Carlo Spirito, a lawyer for Federconsumatori, who recently submitted a note on the situation to the Public Prosecutor’s Office. “It is a question of responsibility before it is a question of civility,” he said. “We must be certain that the children are safe.” With him is Sergio Romano of the Campania Health Committee, who believes that we are faced with an “absurd situation that requires immediate intervention by the authorities. In the meantime, we have also reported the situation to the health observatory of the Municipality of NAPLES.”
