Shifts covered by the managers to avoid the closure of the Tempio Emergency Department . This is the situation that has arisen today and without the direct intervention of the general manager Marcello Acciaro and the medical director Raffaele De Fazio, the service would have closed its doors . The last available doctor left the ward in recent days.
The staff, reduced to a few units, is on its last legs . The medical director Raffaele De Fazio is guaranteeing the coordination activities together with Acciaro. Municipal administrators, minority municipal councilors and various local political exponents arrived in the department, including the regional councilor Andrea Biancareddu and the regional councilor Pd Giuseppe Meloni.
Meloni said: «Today I wanted to personally ascertain the situation in the emergency room of the Tempio hospital. I was present in the morning and in the afternoon to confer with the medical and nursing staff before and with the top management afterwards. The situation is clearly very deficient, and this is also demonstrated by the need for the health director of the ASL to be hired so that coverage of today's afternoon shift, otherwise uncovered, would be guaranteed . I will continue to always be at the forefront when it comes to seeking, in particular, concrete and applicable solutions to ensure citizens' right to health. But the time has come for improvisation to leave room for serious and effective programming ».
An initiative in extremis, that of the managers, which could not remain isolated. Doctors on a permanent basis in the garrison of Tempio latitano , Paolo Dettori was already forced to close his birthplace amid protests from the municipalities and citizens of Upper Gallura.
At least the "sacrifice" of the two managers prevented a repeat of what happened in early January at the Antonio Segni hospital in Ozieri: there was no one to cover the night shifts, so the emergency room was closed for five nights in a row .
