Since their general practitioner retired on December 1, 1,450 patients find themselves without assistance. The only possibility for them is the medical emergency. It happens in Sinnai, with the protest starting to be heard.

The Local Health Authority announced the first call for tenders, but no healthcare professional submitted an application to participate.

A second announcement will thus be made, but the days pass and the protest continues.

«A paradoxical situation - says one of the patients, Nuccio Floris - we are obviously worried. One of our basic rights is being taken away from us: that of healthcare."

Several patients also turned to municipal administrators. All that remains is to wait for the outcome of the second tender.
