The 118 ambulances at the Sorgono station have been traveling without doctors for a year .

«Due to the lack of staff, the shifts – explains SOS Sanità Barbagia Mandrolisai – are covered by a driver and a nurse . Lately, with the transfer of the last two doctors on staff, out of 60 12-hour monthly shifts, only about ten are covered by doctors from other stations, the remaining 50 by nurses alone."

The Committee has launched the mobilization: on May 23rd at 10.30 there will be a sit in in Nuoro , in front of the Areus headquarters in via Oggiano.

Rise, unlike other places such as Tortolì and Macomer, has the reference hospital or a medicalized ambulance for more than an hour , given that the emergency room and the local hospital are not suitable for receiving patients with some pathologies.

To this inconvenience, continues the Committee, «we must add the fact that, for an obvious purpose of saving money, Areus forces the staff, both drivers and nurses, to cover multiple positions on call at the same time even at great distances in kilometers (Sorgono, Ghilarza and Bosa) . This means that, if necessary, the stations must remain uncovered for more than an hour waiting for the operator available from other locations to arrive ."

Furthermore, according to "rumors" this shortage of doctors " will lead to the definitive closure of the medical clinic with the possible opening of the same in another location, in Macomer, where they have two medical clinics 20 minutes apart, those of Bosa and Ghilarza ".

The sit called for Thursday is just the beginning, then we will also talk about the pediatric situation, explains SOS Barbagia Mandrolisai. who warns: «If there are no immediate responses we will proceed with a more complex demonstration».
