Sardinian healthcare is among the worst in Italy, the only one, together with that of the Aosta Valley, to have worsened its performance even in the post-Covid period .

The Gimbe Foundation writes it in its monitoring of the Essential Levels of Assistance (Lea) for 2021.

14 Regions promoted with Emilia Romagna in the lead , in the South only Abruzzo, Basilicata and Puglia pass the "exam". Gimbe underlines the North-South divide for essential care which, the Foundation claims, will be exacerbated by the Calderoli bill on differentiated autonomy .

"The objective - explains the president of Gimbe, Nino Cartabellotta - is both to estimate the extent of the current North-South divide, and to evaluate the resilience and recovery capacity of the regional health services in the second year of the pandemic".

There are 14 compliant Regions in 2021: Abruzzo, Basilicata, Emilia-Romagna, Friuli Venezia Giulia, Lazio, Liguria, Lombardy, Marche, Autonomous Province of Trento, Piedmont, Puglia, Tuscany, Umbria, Veneto. 7 Regions remain in default: Campania, Molise, the Autonomous Province of Bolzano and Sicily with an insufficient score in only one area; Sardinia with an insufficient score in two areas ; Calabria and Valle D'Aosta insufficient in all three areas.

With the exception of Sardinia and Valle d'Aosta which in 2021 worsened their performances, in all the other Regions the Lea scores increased compared to 2020 .

On the basis of the New Guarantee System (NSG), Gimbe reminds us, three areas are assigned a score: collective prevention and public health, district assistance and hospital assistance. In each area the Regions can obtain a score between 0 and 100 and are considered compliant if they reach at least 60 points in all three areas.

In the area of collective prevention and public health, Sardinia barely exceeds 60, settling at 61.63 . Rejection without appeal in the other two areas: 49.34 in district assistance, 58.71 in hospital assistance .

Overall, Sardinia's score is 169.7 (max 300) and according to the Gimbe analysis, Sardinia ranks 19th among the autonomous regions and provinces . Compared to 2020, in 2021 the Region's scores even worsened (-9.3) .

In detail, from the evaluation of the 22 indicators of the new guarantee system (nsg), divided into the three areas, the Island ranks 17th for the prevention area, 19th for the district area and 18th for the hospital area.
