NapoliThe families of heart transplant recipients denounced, in a statement, "a new dismantling of the transplant center" and wrote this morning to the health director of the Colli hospital, Dr. Giuseppe Fiorentino, who is also a physician at the facility.
"We wrote because we have to take care of our safety, and it's also a matter of civic duty, but it's tiring and increases our precarious situation," emphasizes Giuseppe, a forty-year-old who has just recovered from a rejection episode for which he had to seek support because it wasn't clear where to admit him: "After a week," the note states, "he arrived in the relevant department, where fortunately they acted immediately."
"We are concerned because new resolutions have been issued that change the organizational structure of the transplant center," says Dafne Palmieri, spokesperson for the committee. "We do not forget that similar situations in the past have destroyed the center. We are calling on the institutions to intervene.
After years, the center had been brought up to standard, at least organizationally, and good results had begun again (people saved). Only a few structural aspects were missing, already funded and planned. Work had begun... suddenly everything stopped. Work in the ward, sub-intensive care, and even the organizational units and personnel involved changed.
It almost seems like there is an action against us. But why? We asked for a meeting today, but we doubt that they will grant it to us. In the meantime we also wrote to the transparency commission because the Region has given and provided a lot of money for the department and also for the program organized in a certain way.
Now what if all this money was wasted? "Adds Nino, father of Ilaria, who received a transplant at 12 and is currently hospitalized. "They dismantle and reassemble the center as if it were a toy puzzle, but our children are not Lego figures."
