The new regional health councilor Carlo Doria has immersed himself in work, in a sector that needs urgent answers. Two important news. "After my inauguration we accelerated two paths, referring to two hospital structures that we cared about a lot and which will give answers to important territories", he explains. They are respectively the opening of the community house of La Maddalena and the community hospital of Ghilarza , which will strengthen the Sardinian health system.

"I can anticipate that both works will be inaugurated by the end of the year," explains Doria.

Certainly good news. But obviously there are still many problems to be solved , and they have their roots in past choices, both national and regional. Anti-historical today.

" Reorganization of the territory with home networks, community hospitals , continuity of care (implemented by telemedicine and complementary health professionals), university funding for the strengthening of specialization schools must be our mantra - Carlo Doria, who is also a well-known orthopedic surgeon and full professor at the University of Sassari -. But we need to intervene with urgent measures in situations that are no longer manageable ». «One of the "Achilles heels" of Sardinian Healthcare - he continues - is represented by the emergency rooms , especially in the larger hospitals, such as the one in Sassari and the other crowded Sardinian emergency rooms. Due to excessive congestion and interminable waits for white and green codes, which in efficient conditions should be managed outside the hospital emergency system. It is therefore unthinkable that after the triage a patient should stay several hours in cramped environments without being assisted and monitored ». «On this - the new commissioner specifies - the Region is already taking action by planning special areas in the emergency rooms . Sassari will certainly be one of the interested venues. The first results will be seen in the coming weeks. The care and taking charge of the patient will be the first result felt by the user".

«I would like to underline - adds Doria again - that thanks to the commitment made by all the doctors on the front line, all the most serious cases , red and yellow codes to be clear, have always had adequate answers . It is therefore an organizational reasoning: to strengthen the services in the various territories and reorganize the central ones ».

"In the protection - he concludes - of the safety and dignity of patients and operators".
