NEW (SIRACUSA) (ITALPRESS) – Debutto a Noto for the provincial tour “La Salute nel Quartiere” and for the new screening campaign of the ASP of Syracuse. For a whole day, the XVI-May Square has become a great pole of outdoor health, welcoming hundreds of citizens and immediately registering an important first numerical success: over 40 mammographic screenings performed on the spot on the corporate mobile unit. The initiative is part of the strategic framework of the National Equity Programme in Health 2021-2027, a ministerial plan created to break down economic, cultural and geographical barriers that too often remove the most vulnerable or disadvantaged population groups from access to prevention and timely care. A winning synergy for the territory. The event of Noto is the fruit of a close collaboration between the ASP of Syracuse and the Assessorato alle Politiche Sociali del Comune di Noto, led by the Councillor Paolo Playstro. A synergy that has also seen the active involvement of third sector bodies in the co-design of services. To give a touch of color and lightness in the morning, we thought about the volunteers of the Carovana dei Clown who animated the square offering moments of entertainment for the little ones, making the environment hospitable and accessible for the whole community and for families. “ These events in the various municipalities of the province represent an important occasion for meeting with the community to promote the culture of prevention – explained the extraordinary commissioner of the Asp of Syracuse, Gioacchino Iraci -. Thanks to the collaboration with the Municipalities and Third Sector bodies involved in co-projecting, we value a health model that brings services directly to the places of life of citizens, confirming the importance of network work to build an increasingly inclusive health and close to people.” The health offer in the square is articulated around the four main axes of the national program. Contrast to health poverty. Activation of proximity clinics with multidisciplinary teams to ensure specialist visits and the provision of free medications or medicines to those in conditions of economic fragility. Oncologic screening and early diagnosis. Focus on prevention of breast cancer, uterus neck and rectum. Gender medicine. Promoting the appropriateness of welfare paths. Space at the domicile service “I welcome you at home”, aimed at supporting mothers and infants in the delicate period of post-partum. Mental health. Enhancement of territorial services with orientation and psychological support for families who daily manage the burden of the psychic discomfort of their loved one. The ASP mobile unit, coordinated by the Screening Management Center, is equipped with a latest-generation mammograph. It is not only a diagnostic medium, but a real itinerant health center: in addition to mammographs for women between 50 and 69 years on board operators provide information and collect reservations for Pap-Test and Hpv-Test (target 25-64 years) and distribute kits for occult blood research in stools for screening of colorectal cancer and female cancer (men and women). After the inaugural stage of Noto, the ASP motorhome will continue its journey throughout June. Commissioner Iraci reiterated the call for maximum participation: “Bringing early diagnosis directly into the places of residence means breaking down not only geographical barriers, but also cultural resistances that induce to postpone controls. A few minutes control can make a difference and save life.” To optimize waiting times and ensure the correct influx of performance for the next calendar appointments, the ASP of Syracuse recommends booking, effettvia two channels.
