Homeless, the Municipality of Naples launches a table with ASL for a joint health intervention.
A health intervention in Naples to protect the health of the homeless. On the subject, for the first time “there will be full cooperation – we read in a note – tbetween the Municipality of Naples and the ASL Napoli 1″.
To kick off what is being called an “unprecedented institutional synergy”, the first operational meeting was held in the council chamber of Palazzo San Giacomo in the presence of Mayor Gaetano Manfredi, Security Councillor Antonio De Iesu, Welfare Councillor Luca Trapanese, Health Councillor Vincenzo Santagada, Cabinet Chief Maria Grazia Falciatore and General Director of ASL Napoli 1 Ciro Verdoliva.
The technical table aims to "implement a series of joint activities between the Social Policies and Security services and those of the city health authority dedicated specifically to the homeless, which are in addition to those prepared by the ASL independently". The first concrete initiative shared between the parties is the choice to include within the street team available to the Municipality a figure with health competence who will be responsible for supervising the physical and mental conditions and any addictions of the homeless.
The table was born from the decision of the Municipal Administration to identify how “indispensable and priority” interventions related to vulnerable groups of the population such as minors, disabled people, the elderly and the homeless, but also interventions aimed at protecting public health and health and hygiene surveillance in the area, collective prevention interventions linked to the area aimed at preventing inappropriate hospitalization and programming interventions as provided for by the PNRR.
Unified protocols for taking charge will soon be defined which will allow for “to provide answers, in an integrated and organized manner, to the complex needs of vulnerable people, starting with the homeless”.
