++ There are about 4,200 doctors missing in the Italian emergency rooms ++

(ANSA) - ROME, JUL 27 - About 4,200 doctors are missing in the Italian emergency rooms, according to data from Simeu (Italian Society of Emergency Medicine) last November.

And already 600 doctors resigned in 2022, practically 100 per month.

Guaranteeing assistance is increasingly difficult, also because requests for help have increased (on average by 20% compared to the same period last year).

Workers speak of "the worst summer since the Emergency Urgency".

    The number of patients who remain in the emergency room waiting for hospitalization for a long time, the so-called boarding, increases "with the same proportions".
