Two wards, each with 38 beds. And all busy. This is the current situation linked to no Covid patients in Medicine at Brotzu, the largest hospital in Sardinia. “At the moment we have no vacancies, partly due to the closure of the medical department of the Holy Trinity which has once again become Covid hospital”, explains the special commissioner Paolo Cannas. A situation to be monitored step by step, and, with the risk that, in the event of a worsening of the health emergency, the situation could become even more critical, a possibility to “breathe” the wards can be to transfer “patients which are stabilized or for which a diagnosis has also been reached in private clinics, which can make a contribution ”.
Attilio Carta from Uil also intervenes on this point: “Situation aggravated following the establishment of the famous ‘gray areas’ in the wards to better manage the current health emergency. It can worsen if many patients were to be diverted from the Holy Trinity following the surge in coronavirus hospitalizations. The most serious problem is the shortage of health personnel, which can only be solved with an extraordinary hiring of nurses and Oss “, an” extraordinary investment that UIL has been calling for loudly but, in vain, for months “.
