"With this strike we do not wish to create further inconvenience to citizens - the representatives of NurSind said immediately - but we want everyone to know and recognize that nurses are a fundamental resource for all health systems in the world, even if obviously not enough for ours. Government and our Regions. In fact, the Draghi government has not decided to give any sign of closeness to health workers (nurses, midwives, Oss, etc.), already from this month providing the resources allocated in December 2020. The medical staff already for a year has rightly received half a billion euros, the remaining health and social health personnel are still waiting ".

Mobilization of the USB in front of the Santissima Trinità hospital in Cagliari, Covid presidium of the capital. "Despite the fact that the staff of the health sector - explains the union - has been under-staff from time immemorial, the hiring block continues even now that they have to bear the weight of the Covid-19 pandemic: this is answered by extending the waiting lists out of all proportion for interventions of various types, so much so that in surgery the interventions decreased by 30 and in some cases by 50%. They responded with the de facto closure of entire wards of small territorial hospitals causing the clogging of major hospitals; extension of waiting lists for specialist visits and clinical examinations, forcing patients to go to private facilities ".

Strike - explains Usb - also for "the overload of the emergency room".
