Torremaggiore Faces Overnight Healthcareโ Gap: Firstโฃ Aidโ & Medical โคGuard Unstaffed
Torremaggiore, Italy – Residentsโ of torremaggiore adn the surrounding Alto Tavoliere โขdistrict of Puglia will face a critical gap in immediate medical โคcare this Sunday, November 23, 2025, from 8:00 PM โฃto 8:00โค AM. Both the First Aid Point (PPIT/PFM) atโค the formerโ San Giacomo facility and the Medical Guard service will โขoperate without โa physician โคpresent, raising concerns for โvulnerable populationsโ and potentially straining emergencyโค response โฃresources.
This lapse in physician coverageโ repeats a pattern of concern for the region,which reliesโ heavilyโค onโ theโ Torremaggiore station – consistently theโ busiestโ of five PPITsโ in Capitanata (torremaggiore,Vieste,Vico delโค Gargano,Monte Sant’Angelo,and San Marco in Lamis) โฃ-โข as a crucial filter for the San Severo hospital emergency room. The โTorremaggiore facility houses aโ completeโ emergencyโ response system including the PPIT,โข the MIKE mobile station staffed with a doctor, and the INDIA mobile station led by nurse โฃteams, all strategically positioned โto serve a wide โขgeographical area. The absence of a โฃdoctor during thes hours leaves residents โฃwith limited โoptions for urgent, non-life-threatening medical needs and increases the burden on ambulance โservices.
