Naples – The complex case of the patient who wandered away from the Cotugno Hospital, found this afternoon around 15:00 PM, within the perimeter of the Second Polyclinic Hospital in Naples, has been resolved successfully. The man was located in a wooded area of the university hospital, in a difficult-to-access location.
According to initial reports, the patient accidentally slipped from the Cotugno area—a building adjacent to where he was found—and ended up in the thick vegetation of the Policlinico Hospital. The man remained trapped in the area for at least an entire day; he was understandably confused when he was discovered, but was quickly secured.

Following several reports, the company's private security staff (Team Security) and hospital firefighters responded promptly.

I am pleased that the man was found and treated, but it seems that there are many shortcomings in the surveillance and accessibility of the hospital area. I can see dangers and the emergency chain has done its part, but more prevention and reporting is needed rather than improvising. Let's hope for improvement.
