Doctors on a war footing: sand a new type of healthcare is not planned in the future, dream of public care. Health in the abyss but we are willing to do anything
She speaks of health Italian on the abyss that gets worse with each passing day. Land care for everyone they are more and more at risk…
“Indeed in the abyss because after Covid health has returned to the oblivion of politics, without any type of structural project and above all without any type of ancillary financing. Doctors are tired, disillusioned and leave the health system. Seven doctors resign every day “
You have launched a national mega mobilization. There sfold what does it consist of?
“With all the other hospital medical unions we launched a mobilization that will start on September 14, a meeting in which we invited party leaders to Rome to whom we will ask for an account of the programs and projects they have in the health sector. Then we will continue with assemblies and demonstrations, until the new government takes office and we will understand what they want to do. They will have to give us an account because we are willing to do anything “
C.he means’at all’?
“To everything, to any type of act that can save the National Health Service”
For example, even go on a real strike, right, without working anymore?
“But yes, because now the doctors are resigning”
You must have read the interview we did with the orthopedic surgeon Mirka Cocconcelli !?
“Yes, yes…”
There would also be no need for a rationalization of expenses and organization of national health? G.the top executives are paid handsomely and rewarded with quests as wellor disaster he sees every day the cures become a chimera...
“Precisely. We need a new health model. The business model has objectively failed. We in the public are bound by any incompatibility whatsoever, by limitations of all kinds, by salaries that are stuck at the stake after 10 years, there has not even been an adjustment to the inflation rate of our salary and with a contract to be renewed already. expired”
What do you think of this initiative in Calabria from to hire Cuban doctors?
“It is an operation that was allowed by laws that we had fought in the pre-Covid era and we had managed to define illegal, that is, we are talking about the outsourcing of work in Healthcare. Covid has made a haunt free for everyone. Today Regions such as la Calabria, but not only Veneto and other regions, are resorting to outsourcing of work for various reasons, the first because it is part of an expenditure item that is not subject to the ceilings for personnel expenditure, which we of the public have. .. a hallucinating thing. Secondly because outsourcing allows doctors to pay differently and more, beyond the Cubans that it was a creative thing absolutely to be contested for various reasons. The Cuban doctor does not have the license to practice in Calabria , does not know the language and does not know how the system works, we do not take into account the real competence and above all before drawing on external doctors with outsourcing try to pay more ù the doctors we have and created different working conditions … “
For the man in the street, what does health care entail? codue to worsening?
“It means that citizens are turning more and more to private healthcare. There are waiting lists because hospitals are no longer able to guarantee universal services, as stated in article 32 of the Constitution. It involves the fact that doctors work badly, they must always manage the emergency only and cannot manage the ordinary in a professional way, with the mental tranquility of being able to provide care because they are always subjected to professional and psychological pressure that is unsustainable. On the one hand we have the pressure of the patients on the other the causes because we are the breathing goats of disservices of all kinds. On the one hand there are the violence against colleagues, on the other the grueling tours. In these conditions, doctors leave the system “
There appears to be a drawing in favor of the private…
“I think there is too. Look: the Competition Decree (of the current government, ed) is the proof of this. In the Competition Decree private services are deducted and the tax deduction for the public that we had requested is not touched. The citizen who goes to the private sector has a tax deduction from the health service. They didn’t even calculate us “
So everything is aimed at the private business?
“Yes to private business and regionalized autonomy”
How does this process stop?
“With investments”
But you are politicians mainly legislate in favor of great giants private as it is possible that they happen and that a new model of Healthcare is rethought public?
“We will block the system. Then I want to see if the politicians, with respect to the blockade of the system, will do something. We must raise public awareness and citizens must be on our side. It is a war not for us it is a war for health ”.
