”The Santobono Pausillipon Hospital in Naples represents an excellence of the public health system for pediatric care that must be helped and supported, also through the recognition of Irccs. I was truly impressed by the ability to simultaneously face the challenge of high specialization and that of daily emergencies. A challenge that is carried out every day with very high access numbers and thanks to extraordinary professionalism”. This was stated by the Undersecretary of Health Sandra Zampa, who visited the Santobono-Pausillipon in Naples this morning to study the themes and problems of pediatric medicine. ”100.000 hospitalizations per year, 400 beds, 1.100 employees, 2 hospital facilities and 6 departments – added Zampa – Numbers that certify the uniqueness of this facility dedicated entirely to children and their families, a point of reference in pediatric care both in the emergency-urgency sector and in high complexity, chronicity and intensive rehabilitation”. “Today's conversation and discussion at Santobono – underlined Zampa – and for which I thank the general manager Anna Maria Minicucci and all the clinicians who enthusiastically participated in the meeting that allowed me to learn more about the topic, represent the start of a listening activity that will continue in the coming months, aimed at understanding how to best support and promote the commitment of those who are in contact with children's health. I would like to thank Paolo Siani in particular, who has made his expertise available to me as well as his friendship. Today I also wanted to express my solidarity with the nurse who was physically attacked last September. We must ensure that the law that protects those who work in the world of healthcare is scheduled as soon as possible for rapid approval by the Chamber". "Those who work must be able to do so in safety - concluded Undersecretary Zampa - and with absolute respect for their physical and psychological integrity".
