"From now until 2023 I would like to launch a pact on Health and overrun or touch the ten billion investments in Health". Prime Minister Giuseppe Conte said this at the press conference on the first 100 days of Government in Health.
More funds for health, abolition of the superticket, stabilization of over 30 thousand temporary workers between doctors, nurses and researchers, raising the cost ceiling for recruitment. A hundred days after the inauguration of the government, Health Minister Roberto Speranza and Prime Minister Giuseppe Conte illustrate, at a press conference at the Ministry of Health, the objectives achieved. Also present were the deputy health minister, Pierpaolo Sileri, and undersecretary Sandra Zampa.
A 'timeline' dense from the establishment of the new government, last September 5, which pointed to a "restorative plan" for Italian Health: among the results illustrated, first of all the increase in resources for the National Health Service, with 2 billions on the Healthcare Fund for 2020 (a doubled increase compared to last year, from 0.9% to 1.8%). And again: 2 billion allocated for healthcare construction and 235 million for new diagnostic tools in the studies of family doctors. Another goal achieved by Speranza, the abolition of the 10 euro superticket: from September it will no longer be paid.
"It is the first time and it has never happened before a prime minister came to the ministry of health: it is an important sign of the investments that the government wants to make in the health sector". Thus said Health Minister Roberto Speranza at the press conference on the first 100 days of government, with Prime Minister Conte. "We are also innovative in this", commented the premier.
"Two billion more for the health fund with this budget law is a first commitment and an investment of 10 billion for health from now until the end of the legislature, as announced by the premier, is a historic commitment. We had never seen a this commitment for the sector ", added the health minister.
