“The serious shortage of medical personnel for the 118 ambulance service, which has forcefully returned to the fore with the Rai investigation by Agora', is the tip of the iceberg, a national issue”.
This was stated by the national president of Saues (Autonomous Union for Health Emergency Urgency), Paolo Ficco, for whom "in the face of a real mass exodus of contracted territorial emergency doctors towards other better paid and less risky services, in the face of an ever-wider demedicalization of the few available ambulances and the consequent congestion of hospital emergency rooms, an ad hoc law is needed that guarantees long-term contracted territorial emergency doctors the possibility of their transition to dependency".
“In essence – concluded the president of Saues – we need an emergency decree that, overcoming the difficulties of the parliamentary political forces that on several occasions have made no small effort in this direction, guarantees the 118 contracted doctors, yesterday embittered and today disheartened, the contract of dependence with the ASL and the young contracted doctors of territorial emergency the guarantee of a future perspective in the roles of the health system”.
