One hundred years old and a man of steel. Grandma Gerarda, from Teora, in the province of Avellino, has accomplished a true miracle: suffering an ischemic stroke two days ago, she is already back home on her own two feet, after just 48 hours of hospitalization at Moscati Hospital in Avellino. A story of prompt action, professionalism, and humanity that restores faith in the Campania healthcare system.
It all started when the woman, who lives alone and remains completely independent despite her age, suddenly lost the ability to speak and showed difficulty walking.

The diagnosis of ischemic stroke was immediate. Doctors administered a powerful thrombolytic drug, capable of rapidly dissolving the clot that had blocked the cerebral artery. After just six hours, the patient began speaking and moving normally. Two days later, she returned home, greeted emotionally by doctors and her family, who had feared the worst.
"Mom came home walking and smiling," says her daughter Filomena. "It's unbelievable." "Stories like this are heartwarming," commented Moscati Hospital's general manager, Germano Perito, "and show what good healthcare means: promptness, expertise, and teamwork."
