The Region discriminates against the inhabitants of northern Sardinia. This is the thesis of Salvatore Sanna, president of the ACLI of Sassari and of AcliSalute, an association for the protection of citizens and patients. Under accusation is the distribution of resources allocated for additional services with the aim of trying to cut waiting lists, a chronic problem of the regional health system.

The resolution that distributes the funds among the various Local Health Authorities of the island is not yet clickable, but Sanna claims to have come into possession of it informally. And he found a nasty surprise: «Despite the observations of the Health Commission in the regional council and the resolution of the Guarantor Authority for competition and the market in January 2022», he explains, « the junta and the now former health councilor Mario Nieddu persist in the distribution of resources on the territories on the basis of historical expenditure and not of the resident population".

The result: Cagliari's ASL 8 would take 60% of the total (over one million out of 1.8 million) «while only 140,000 euros go to the Sassari ASL and just 28,000 euros to Gallura. This is the umpteenth inequality for the citizens of northern Sardinia who», Sanna accuses, «if you add the ASL 1 with the 2, have a population identical to that of 8, but with much, much less availability».

An example: with the amount attributed to Sassari it will be possible to have MRIs done for 637 patients, while in Cagliari there will be 4947, almost 5000, compared to 350,000 inhabitants in the first case and 550,000 in the second case.

"Let's appeal to the new councilor Carlo Doria", who is also from Sassari, "to review such an unjust decision for Sardinian citizens because giving more to those who have more is, not only an injustice, but to put it of the Pope, inhuman".
