Roberto Speranza Lapresse
Over 4 million invitations and 2 million and 500 thousand tests of screening fewer in 2020 than in 2019, which translates into delays of 5 months for screening for the tumor of the cervix, 4 and a half months for that of the breast and 5 and a half months for colorectal screening. They are chilling data. Very serious. Painful for the many people (and their families) who have lost their lives due to diseases that have nothing to do with Covid. To all this are added other equally dramatic data: at least 1.5 million Italians are without their own doctor. Some are forced to rely on studios that already have a full number of clients (the maximum is 1500). Others rely on substitutes, still others are looking for the doctor to rely on.
Yet the Minister of Health, Roberto Speranza, who spoke yesterday at 'Half an hour more', on RaiTre, spoke only of vaccines, coronavirus, Green Pass and third dose. "90% ambitious but feasible goal", "Green Pass fundamental tool, the contagion curve goes back", "Vaccinate children 5-12 years old? Ema will decide by December", "Third dose for everyone to be evaluated, now the fragile ones". .. And so on. Maximum respect for the victims of Covid, the sick and their families, but Speranza is the Minister of Health and not of the coronavirus. Is it possible that he goes on television and says nothing about the cancer prevention deficit? Or about the lack of general practitioners? Diseases all deserve the same respect and frankly, in many cases, those who have had a loved one who died of cancer and heart problems or other feel like a second-rate citizen. Premier Draghi, between a smile with Macron, Biden and Merkel and an inconclusive G20, have you nothing to say to your health minister?
