The coordination of the Sardinian public health committees announces the general mobilization across the island, starting next autumn, with a demonstration that will take place in Cagliari. This is to deal with the serious and dramatic health situation that is affecting the whole of Sardinia , including those that were considered the happy oases, such as the large hospitals.

This is what emerged in the coordination meeting, which took place in Silanus where, among other things, an urgent meeting was requested with the regional health councilor and the leaders of Anci Sardinia. The entire serious situation is exposed in a long statement from the coordination of the committees, which sounds like a war bulletin.

«The crisis of the hospital network - it is written in the document, signed by one of the coordinators, Alessandro Rosas - has involved small and intermediate hospitals, but now also affects large hospitals and those who were the excellences of the public health service in Sardinia , with a very dangerous domino effect that risks being irreversible."

Organizational shortcomings, the blocking of activities and many other problems constitute, together with other problems and failures, the serious crisis situation in Sardinian healthcare. The statement focuses on the main gaps. «Almost half of general practitioners are missing. Entire territories are deprived of basic assistance and continuity of care, especially in small towns in the internal areas, but also in large centres . There is an urgent need for a reorganization of primary and local care starting from what already exists." The list is long and dramatic. Hence the announcement of a general mobilization, with demonstrations and meetings.
