“A worthy professional has left us, Vito Procaccidirector of the Emergency Department of the Policlinico of Bari. In addition to his competence and deep dedication to his work, I would like to remember the generosity with which he always devoted himself not only to patients, but also to colleagues”. Thus Loreto Gesualdopresident of the Federation of Italian Medical-Scientific Societies (Fism)remembers the colleague who disappeared suddenly.
“I am deeply impressed – continues Gesualdo – I had a long acquaintance with him, which first matured at the Ospedali Riuniti di Foggia where Procacci was director of the Ps, in the early 2000s and, subsequently, with the transfer of both to the Policlinico di Bari. We shared the difficulties of the Covid period and all the bitterness in overcoming the arduous tests and bureaucratic obstacles. Vito gave a modern approach to the Apulian emergency-urgency system, bringing innovation and organizational advancement. He carefully trained young specialists, but above all he transmitted to them his passion for Medicine. Vito always knew how to amaze us with his creative solutions: even today with an absurd and sudden death. On behalf of the entire Fism Board of Directors – concludes the president – I express closeness and condolences to our federated Simeu, Italian Society of Emergency Medicine, of which Vito was a member”.
