«Today's sit-in wants to give a wake-up call to the new council that is about to be born: there are technical deadlines that must be respected for the appointment of the new health councilor , but it must be considered that we are in an emergency here and that we must immediately address the problems".

It is the first point addressed by the SOS Sanità Barbagia Mandrolisai Committee, which has been active for years for the right to public health in the area, amid shortages of doctors, first aid and half-service departments.

«We have emergencies that we need to resolve quickly - explained Franca Salvai, member of the committee in charge of Sorgono - The first problem is that all 13 towns in the Mandrolisai area do not have a pediatrician and we cannot go on like this. There is a lack of general practitioners and there is a serious emergency emergency problem where two doctors have resigned and now our ambulances travel with a driver and a nurse. In this regard, the situation is serious: since we don't have an emergency room in Sorgono that intervenes on red codes, we find ourselves with serious patients traveling by ambulance to distant hospitals without a doctor on board."

The list of critical issues continues for the Sorgono hospital with a serious shortage of doctors : Surgery only works for scheduled interventions, the Medicine department has no head doctor and the emergency room works with coin-operated doctors and only for cases lighter. «It's always been the same thing for years - continues Salvai - the competitions are held and the doctors don't come here. I hope that the new councilor will take up and use the 20 million euros allocated by the Solinas council for additional services in disadvantaged areas, so as to offer us better services and reduce waiting lists. We will be here every Thursday - concludes Salvai - and on dates yet to be scheduled we will move to Cagliari to the Ares headquarters and to Nuoro to the Areus to solve the emergency problems, we will not give discounts to anyone if things don't work out. face."
