On the Ares Sardegna website, in the "praetorian register" section, the rankings of family doctors who responded to the latest regional call for the assignment of permanent positions in the offices that became vacant in the year 2020 have been published.

The call, as foreseen, had been integrated in December with the revival of all the 2019 offices, which still remained vacant at the end of the assignment procedures relating to that year.

Altogether 101 doctors have applied for the various territorial areas and included in the rankings.

"By the end of the month - says the regional councilor for Health, Mario Nieddu - the lists will be final and the actual assignment of the various locations will be carried out. The hope is that the percentage of renunciations by those who will not succeed to have a job in the desired location is low and that it is possible to cover as many locations as possible ".

"In any case - specifies the commissioner Nieddu - all areas that are still uncovered at the end of the procedures currently underway will return to tender this year with the notice for the assignment of all the sites left without a family doctor in the 2021 ".

The exponent of the Giunta Solinas underlines that "Primary care is today a topic of the highest priority, whose criticalities affect the entire national territory. To ensure coverage of family doctors, everywhere in Sardinia, we are putting in place every tool at our disposal and we have managed to recover the heavy delays accumulated in the past. The hope is above all that doctors will accept the assignments in the most disadvantaged centers, for which we have provided incentives with an allocation of 2 million euros per year in last financial ".
