Naples – A clear line of demarcation between Palazzo Santa Lucia and hospital wards. Campania Region President Roberto Fico chose the symbolic setting of the inauguration of the new entrance and monumental pavilion at the Cardarelli Hospital in Naples to send a drastic political and managerial message: "Parties must step away from medicine."

Stop political influences

The Governor has advocated for management based exclusively on CVs and professional ethics, distancing himself from the clientelistic logic that has historically burdened the regional healthcare sector. "Here, we treat people, not grades," Fico emphasized. "My position is clear: those who deserve it advance. I will never give instructions to advance anyone in hospital roles." This commitment aims to restore credibility to internal competitions and appointments, focusing on an "ethical model" of governance.

The waiting list dossier

Beyond the moral issue, the President addressed the critical issue of waiting lists, a scourge that afflicts thousands of Campania residents. Fico confirmed that he has initiated close monitoring with regional health officials. "We are collecting all the necessary documentation.

I have already held several meetings with the Campania General Directorate and have requested specific reports that my team and I are analyzing in detail,” he explained, implying that corrective measures based on the data that has emerged could be implemented shortly.

Emergency Room Safety and Reform

The other hot topic is assaults on healthcare workers. The Region's strategy will focus on two main areas: strengthening the front office and implementing new regional regulations. The idea is to leverage proven reception models to improve the flow of information to patients.

According to the Governor, tension in emergency rooms often stems from a lack of communication: providing timely responses to those waiting is not just an act of courtesy, but a protection mechanism for doctors and nurses. "There are management models that can protect staff and better inform patients; we will bring them here to Campania," he concluded.

Now we need to demonstrate the facts, even in the hospitals. In Solofra the emergency room needs to be put into operation, the hospitals are overflowing.

It's important that President Fico addressed this situation. Waiting lists are a serious problem for everyone, but I hope things can really improve. Communication is crucial for those waiting.

Laura Ricciardi, to remove politics from hospitals you have to start by halving the number of primary doctors. Let's see if you do it, then we'll see if it's us who haven't understood or you. I forgot, the primary doctors you need to cut are those doctors who brought you from 500/1000 each.

Laura Ricciardi, you're probably a keyboard warrior. Unfortunately, I've been on the front lines since the first day of COVID. We're talking about something you don't know, you've only seen it on TV.

Cool, you're just talking nonsense when you open your mouth...you don't count for anything, you have to be De Luca's boyfriend, otherwise you'll be out.
