In Sardinia there is a shortage of blood, in particular of groups 0 and B. The alarm contained in the communication of the Brotzu company is raised by the Pd group in the regional council.

“Here we are again: yet another blood crisis - reads a note -. This time the bags of groups 0 and B are missing and the severity of the deficiency is such as to require the suspension of the scheduled non-urgent surgical activity. This is the message sent today by the Aob health directorate to the health and medical directors of Aou Cagliari, Asl 8 Cagliari, PO SS. Trinità, POA Cao, PO San Giuseppe Isili, To the Medical Director PO San Marcellino Muravera, of the Villa Elena Nursing Home, Sant'Antonio Nursing Home, Sant'Anna Nursing Home, New Decimo Nursing Home, of the Città Nursing Home of Quartu, of the San Salvatore Clinic ending with the Pol. Sant'Elena Nursing Home. It is written in the communication of the Brotzu Company that the need is not 'compensable at regional and extra-regional level'. The blocking of scheduled and non-urgent surgical activities therefore concerns all the aforementioned aids that refer to the transfusion center of the Brotzu Hospital for their blood needs. Basically all public hospitals and private hospitals in Cagliari up to Isili and Muravera ".

The Democratic advisers add: "We wonder if it is acceptable that a problem as present and constant as this of the lack of blood has not yet been managed and, if not resolved, at least governed. The time has come to do so: Councilor Nieddu and the regional council have this responsibility, if there is no blood in Sardinia and in Italy, buy it in foreign blood banks and blood products. Do what is needed once and for all, it will affect the life and health of the Sardinians ".
