“Emergency Medicine in Termoli collapses, 7 Covid patients hospitalized”

TERMOLI. The political controversy on the health emergency is growing. For the regional secretary dem Vittorino Facciolla, «The health situation in Molise is falling by the hour. The number of infections increases and, consequently, the number of patients who need hospitalization.

The failure of the management of the Covid emergency of the Florenzano-Toma duo is now in fact. Not having created a Covid hospital is causing the Cardarelli di Campobasso to no longer be able to manage the emergency and all the other hospitals in the region are gradually becoming saturated.

Cardarelli no longer has a place in resuscitation.

The emergency medicine ward of the San Timoteo ward of Termoli is collapsing, currently 7 covid patients are hospitalized.

Dr. Scafarto urgently summoned all the executives of surgery, vascular surgery, senology, ophthalmology and urology to ask for their willingness to intervene on Termoli and Isernia on patients in need of intensive care.

The staff is exhausted by shifts and as we know the Oss (social health workers) hired as VAT numbers, in case they fall ill, are not entitled to health coverage nor are they paid in case of illness.

If the emergency had been faced with seriousness and foresight, the oss and the health personnel would have had to be hired with at least fixed-term contracts: the economic and financial resources were and are there.

In all this we do not want to end up like Calabria where a health commissioner did not know that he should have drawn up a Covid plan; our commissioner, concurring with the serious faults of Toma and Florenzano evidently did so in a way that was inadequate to the needs of the Molisans.

And now the situation is collapsing ».
