Lack of car in Gallura, the ambulance leaves from Olbia and the baby is born in the service station

It was born halfway between Olbia and Tempio, in the service station of Rio Piatu , in the territory of Sant'Antonio di Gallura, in an ambulance that went to the Giovanni Paolo II hospital in Olbia. The baby, who was in a hurry to be born, is fine as well as her mother , a woman from Calangianus. A hasty birth, as sometimes happens, that of a few days ago, but occurred during a relay made necessary by the umpteenth emergency of the Gallura health care , the lack of an ambulance in the upper Gallura with medical personnel on board.

A self-medic was called in Calangianus to transfer the woman who had the signs of labor. The ambulance took charge of the pregnant woman and left in the direction of Olbia, but without a doctor on board she could not complete the intervention . Then another 118 ambulance left Olbia, this one with a doctor and nurses, to meet the vehicle arriving from Tempio. The rendezvous took place halfway where a beautiful girl was born and then transferred with her mother to John Paul II.

All is well that ends well but two ambulances were needed and the presence of a single car for the whole Gallura , due to the lack of personnel, is another serious emergency.
