"We are deeply concerned about the decision to move cancer patients from Businco to Brotzu to undergo surgery and then transfer them back to Businco for hospitalization , for the renovation of the old operating rooms and the construction of two new rooms. Beyond the contraindications to the transfer of cancer patients due to the high risks, we cannot ignore the implosion crisis of the prestigious Brotzu , starting with the overload of work due to the closure of departments and entire hospitals both in the territories and in Cagliari. The further overload of cancer patients can only increase the destabilization of the Sardinian healthcare giant ", warns Claudia Zuncheddu , spokesperson for the Sardinian Network for the Defense of Public Health.

The renovation work on the old operating rooms – the company announced – should start on November 15 – and the plan to transport patients who need to undergo surgery back and forth by ambulance is causing considerable concern.

In recent days, the unions of white coats have raised the alarm and asked for political support . And clearly the "case" fits into the dramatic general picture in which Arnas finds itself, with doctors and nurses in a state of agitation, one step away from the proclamation of a general strike, depending on the outcome of next Friday's meeting with Councilor Bartolazzi.

This morning, the president of the Regional Council's Health Commission, Carla Fundoni, together with her colleagues Giuseppe Frau and Francesco Agus, will be at the garrison to meet the doctors and representatives of the Company . Objective: to find alternative solutions to be able to open the construction site with serenity , a construction site that on paper will last two years, but it is not excluded that the times to complete the project could be extended.

However, on this issue in the Region, the approach of the majority, that is, of those who can do something, is not united : some think that a summit on health with the President of the Region can no longer be postponed, and that it should be called for tomorrow or Wednesday at the latest; others are convinced that perhaps, with the most important garrison in Sardinia in these conditions, it would be necessary to let a few days pass, wait for the climate to calm down.
