Over 40% of visits to the Emergency Department - Healthcare are avoidable. The reality of emergency rooms in difficulty is photographed by the Minister of Health Orazio Schillaci.
One of the critical points is the "involvement and empowerment of extra-hospital care in the management of avoidable accesses" Another crucial issue is the shortage of healthcare personnel, since "there is a lack of around 4,500 doctors and 10,000 nurses at a national level" In Italy, in fact, 11 specialization schools have a choice of total places available that does not exceed 50%.
