Ares 118 Lazio halves the salary of 118 doctors, cutting the hourly wages from 40 to 20 euros, and doctors refuse to get on emergency vehicles. It signals it Mario Balzanelli, national president of Sis118. “It is absurd, unfair and profoundly discriminating – he underlines – that the 118 doctors have not only not been recognized the incentive measures that the outgoing government has instead approved for emergency room doctors, but even more so, as in this case, that the salaries of the 118 doctors of Lazio be halved “.
“The 118 doctors from all over Italy are abandoning the service en masse, because their contracts are inadequate, obsolete, disincentivating. In a word, they cannot be proposed”, is the harsh comment of Balzanelli, who remarked: “They go urgently revised in the obligatory sign of a drastic and deserved enhancement of the 118 doctor, of these authentic life-saving protagonists of the out-of-hospital medical aid. It must be clear to everyone that the presence of the doctor is of decisive importance when it comes to making, in a few minutes, the difference between life and death. We demonstrate it, in fact, every day. A 118 without doctors is a 118 seriously damaged in the quality of the service “.
“Citizens pay their taxes and have the sacrosanct right, when they are in danger of losing their lives, to receive the assistance of a qualified crew in which there is, necessarily – he says – the doctor. To pay, on their own skin, the price of this repeated aberration are the people. When we unfortunately have a cogent, dramatic need, we are all of us “. The hope of the emergency doctors is that “the new government will immediately include the legislative reform of the 118 System among the priorities of the national health planning – Balzanelli explains – so that it can enhance all its operators”.
