Last year - said the government exponent - we had 70 thousand applicants for 14 thousand places available, hospitals and universities are not able to absorb 70 thousand applicants , also because we must ensure that the quality of training remains high. It is true that the epidemic has brought out a lack of doctors, but it is a lack of the presence of doctors in the area, not in the overall presence ".

"The planned number of medical students has increased over the years, we have reached more than 14 thousand starting from around 10 thousand. Now we have unlocked the funnel that was between the medical degree and the graduate school, and now 19 thousand scholarships arrive. . We must then ensure that doctors stay in our country, trying to give them a value for what they have studied ".
