Exceptional spirit of sacrifice and dedication in the care of patients by the health workers of the hospital of Nocera Inferiore (Salerno) are the last bastion for the hospitalized.
Fials of Salerno reports it. In addition to the Urology unit, Umberto I “had to face – underlines the trade union organization – also a critical situation in Neurology, with a constant influx of patients and beds present in the corridors which, moreover, are all occupied.
In the Medicine department, there are also Covid cases in addition to stretcher admissions. Despite the pressure on these units, healthcare workers are working to the best of their ability to ensure the safety and care of patients."
“The situation is collapsing. We must intervene promptly.” Thus the general secretary of Fials, Carlo Lopopolo, who says he is proud “of the courage and commitment demonstrated by the health workers of Nocera Inferiore.
Their dedication is an example of excellence in public health.” “The beds in the corridors – he adds – they testify to the emergency in which the operators are forced to work. We hope that the ASL will act in response to the images arriving from Umberto I.
These patients have access to inadequate care and do not enjoy the privacy that should be due to those who are being treated in a health facility. This is not guaranteeing a right to health worthy of a civilized country like Italy.
They are denied proper assistance for basic things, starting with oxygen and the call bell to report any emergencies. Not to mention the lack of assistance that the health personnel should guarantee, but cannot do because they are perpetually understaffed.
Internal medicine and surgical patients should require adequate care. This happens in Nocera Inferiore – concludes Lopopolo – only thanks to the high professionalism of the staff, who do their best every day despite the critical issues”.
