Italian doctors: "State of general mobilization", No more cuts!
Fedaisf editorial staff
COMUNICATO STAMPA – FNOMCeO days of fire in Phnomceo. While last Friday their voices were heard by the Scientific Societies, today, in a fiery meeting still in progress, are the Unions and Doctors' Associations And Dentists to raise the tone. The watchword is only one: Italian doctors, in all their forms and representations, proclaim the state of mobilization general. With what goals? Meanwhile with that of forcefully reaffirming the role of institutional interlocutors in relation to politics. And bluntly, in one voice, they declare:“Basta con i tagli. È l’ora che il Presidente del Consiglio, così come ha annunciato di voler cancellare IMU e TASI, dica agli italiani, una volta e per tutte, se intende o no mantenere in vita il Sistema Sanitario Nazionale – equo, solidale e universalistico – implementando i livelli di assistenza”.
And among the many topics addressed, three, in the immediate future, the points on which they will certainly battle:
1) The editof Title V which, by creating a fragmentation of responsibilities between the State and the Regions, has increased health care costs and inequalities between the citizens of the various Regions.
2) The consistency between the number of students enrolled in the Faculty of Medicine, admissions to Specialization Schools and admissions to the world of work, to guarantee a Quality training, and a dignified inclusion of young people in the world of work.
3) The clear opposition to a definancing linearity of the Health System, which translates into a mere reduction in the services provided to citizens and a clear deterioration in the working conditions of professionals and in the safety of care.
“We have to work for a new approach to healthcare – said the President of the PhnomceoRoberta Chersevani – that you no longer consider efficiency and fairness as two concepts that travel on opposite tracks. On the contrary, they must go hand in hand, in support of the principles of a fair, supportive and universalistic profession".
Thanks to this compactness, thein Fnomceo therefore index the "General states of the medical and dental profession" for the month of October and promotes a national initiative in the month of November, in defense of a health system that responds to the health needs of citizens.
