"IThe general director of the ASL Amedeo Blasotti has promised to give us the opening date of the emergency room at the Maddaloni hospital within a month.
The company manager provided me with adequate reassurances during a meeting I had on Wednesday with Mayor De Filippo on this very issue.
In recent months, we have received many concrete signals regarding the will of the ASL and the Campania Region to convert the Covid structure and reactivate a hospital that must be an absolute reference in the healthcare panorama of Terra di Lavoro.
The nearly eight million in funding obtained and to be invested in the facility with the start of structural adjustment works in addition to those of the new emergency room are facts that are difficult to object to.
Furthermore, some departments have already been reactivated for some time, such as radiodiagnostics, the analysis laboratory, ophthalmology, otorhinolaryngology, orthopedics, in addition to intensive and sub-intensive care related to Covid and general surgery will also be opened soon.
On October 11, the Regional Council chaired by President De Luca approved the corporate act of the ASL of Caserta, giving new impetus to the investments that the company itself will implement, also determining a series of competitions for medical personnel for the Emergency Departments.
The company is recruiting doctors, nurses, and healthcare assistants and is working with specific courses so that the staff knows how to behave in the emergency room in order to curb and avoid aggressive behavior by users.
So here too we are faced with facts. Imagining that the hospital can be reopened in all its functionality from one day to the next is pure demagogy and is, clearly, a game we do not lend ourselves to.
Equally clearly, as demonstrated by the institutional action that I have been conducting since I took office, this does not mean signing blank cheques.
The hospital and the emergency room are priorities for Maddaloni and for its entire district and I believe that all politicians are working to ensure that they can reopen fully as soon as possible, with adequate staff and efficient and modern departments".
This was stated by Vincenzo Santangelo, regional councilor of the Italia Viva group at the Campania regional council.
