ROMA (ITALPRESS) – “City houses” can represent “a big breakthrough” for health care to citizens. So the president of the Regional Council of Lazio, Antonello Aurigemma, interviewed by Claudio Brachino for the column “First Plan” of the agency Italpress. “In the last 30 years – he recalls – at the regional level he has invested a lot in increasing the beds in the ready-to-measure” that, “in fact, they have become “the only gateway to the regional health service” and still record “an inappropriate access of about 60% acute and chronic. First aid is the point where the citizen should go when he has an accident or an unexpected one, not when he has a waiting problem to do performance or to be able to cure himself.” The community houses, on the other hand, “convince to filter and, thanks to the 16 billion allocated by measure 6 of the PNRR, allow to pass from a health service “hospedalocentric” to a grip” of the patient on the territory”. The medicine of the territory “today serves precisely because of the fact that we are the second longest country in the world, it gives us the possibility to cure acute and chronic in a better way, but above all with a much more qualified assistance” and “with a much more accurate control”.
So it allows “to carry out therapeutic diagnostic paths for taking the patient into charge and to have a daily control of the patient, also thanks to new innovations, telemedicine, technological innovations”. It is also important to promote a “new culture of health, which is not only cured within the lanes of hospitals, but previously with prevention and screening and innovation, correct lifestyles and healthy nutrition”. For this reason, Saturday 21 and Sunday 22 March “we open the doors of the Peace Park to citizens” for “prevention activities” within the framework of “A Health Council”, the free prevention program promoted by the Regional Council that joins the event “21 March – National Day of Health Movement”. “We believe that prevention is not a cost to break down, but an investment to increase, as we believe that a proper lifestyle with a small physical activity during the day, flanked by a healthy diet of the Mediterranean diet, are the main factors with which you can not only have a better health, but also lower the costs of the regional health service.” Even at European level, we must not be unprepared in the face of any health crisis in the future.
As part of the opinion report on the strategy proposed by the European Commission on medical countermeasures, explains Aurigemma, “we have made meetings and meetings, both in Italy and in Europe, with the various stakeholders to try to anticipate the various difficulties that have occurred, starting with the acquisition of drugs”, he explains. “Too often our territory has seen delocalizing important sites that, in order to reduce the cost of production and the cost of labor, have moved towards the countries of the East, even with the acquisition of active ingredients that are fundamental for many drugs,” he says. It is necessary to “study a plan that can bring back Europe the acquisition of active ingredients, but also the production of drugs, but above all to report research on the European territory, to try to network also with a digitization of patients who can go on a single European platform and, above all, to organize a network of emergencies that mainly lives on a principle of subsidiarity among the various Member States”.
