For the emergency medical system in the Northeast (with the contribution of the "token workers" having ended), the moment of truth has arrived. The blanket is very short; in fact, the specialists available to the Olbia Local Health Authority are dramatically insufficient. The peak in admissions is approaching (the Olbia Emergency Department averages 200 patients per day during the summer). Internal events are emerging within this framework, suggesting situations of great tension .
Dr. Rosangela Beretta, head of the Emergency Room and Emergency Medicine department at the Giovanni Paolo II Hospital in Olbia , has resigned . There are reports of disagreements with the general management and the regional health department regarding the hospital's vision for services.
Gallura's emergency care system is in dire straits without payroll staff . The Olbia emergency room faces one of the island's most demanding situations (hundreds of admissions per day in the summer), the Tempio emergency room has only two staffed specialists, and the La Maddalena facility faces the challenges of being an island. The Tempio emergency room manager, Nicola Tondini, and his colleague Franca Pischedda have guaranteed shift coverage until July 10th, but we'll see what happens after that. The local health authority is ready to do whatever it takes to keep Tempio open.
The newly elected mayor of the Gallura town, Gianna Masu, met with specialists from the Paolo Dettori Institute today and assured the municipality of its full support.
