The construction site opening at the Cagliari Oncology Hospital is taking a while to complete.

USB Sanità, through its representative Gianfranco Angioni, is raising the alarm: "What is happening at Businco represents an institutional disgrace that can no longer be hidden or silenced. Building F is visible to all," the union representative attacks: "Orange fences, locked gates, piles of rubble, bags of debris piled up, windows blown out, peeling walls, and entire operating rooms emptied. It looks like an abandoned building."

What should be a place of care and hope "today appears like a monument to degradation, an open wound in the heart of Sardinian healthcare."

For months, USB Sanità "has been reporting a slowdown in the renovation of the operating rooms in Building F. According to official statements, demolition and selective disposal were supposed to be completed by September 2025, with reconstruction and delivery of the new operating rooms scheduled for June 2026." Today, however, "the work is not progressing as hoped, and the existence of a working plan ready for construction remains a mystery: no documents have been made public, and no transparency has been guaranteed."

Patients, Angioni accuses, are paying the highest price: "Waiting lists are growing, while healthcare workers—surgeons, anesthetists, nurses, healthcare assistants, and technical and medical staff—now understaffed and among the lowest paid in Sardinia, must ensure an increasingly compromised healthcare offering . Reopening the operating rooms in Building F would mean easing the burden on the operating rooms at San Michele, which until now has had to absorb oncology surgical activities, increasing the pressure on staff and further compromising the quality of healthcare."
