Hospital doctors: 'Extraordinary measures to avoid the collapse of hospitals'
"Extraordinary measures to avoid the collapse of the entire hospital health care system" and "an increase in current expenditure for an adaptation of staff, both in the emergency room and in the wards, together with the increase in ordinary beds ".
This was asked by the outgoing national secretary of the union of hospital doctors Anaao Assomed, Carlo Palermo, in his report at the 25th National Congress of the Association underway in Naples.
But, he warns,
"structural interventions, not buffer measures" are needed
, in order to "prevent the right to health from being entrusted to the credit card as well as to the place of residence".
