ROMA (ITALPRESS) – “Last week we announced that we would not have issued a decree because there are interlocutions with the Regions and yesterday we communicated it also to them. There was no text yet but only hypotheses. I can confirm that our goal, shared with the Regions and of course shared with the government, is to make sure that on June 30, that is the expiry imposed by the Pnrr, they start the homes of communities.” So the Minister of Health, Orazio Schillaci, in an interview with Corriere della Sera. “This is not only the reform of family medicine – the minister emphasizes –. It is a reform concerning territorial medicine: it is also closely linked to a bill that we presented last January concerning the reorganization of territorial medicine and hospital medicine. It is a 360 degree vision that wants to have a more modern, more proactive and more prevention-based medicine than cure.”.
According to Schillaci, community houses “represent a fundamental preface to modernize our health, as well as being ready from the infrastructural point of view. On this we are absolutely in line with the numbers and with the times – adds -. They are also ready to welcome and treat patients. It is very important that the multidisciplinary teams operate within the community homes, where an indispensable fundamental figure is represented by the doctor of general medicine.”.
“Our task is to find an agreement with the Regions with doctors of general medicine so that they can enter into community homes – the minister explains. To do this today we have an urgency, we want to respect the timing; therefore, we will naturally meet the representatives of the Regions, we will meet the doctors of general medicine, but as I said a few days ago, I am very confident that we can reach a conclusion in the interest only of patients and in compliance with Article 32 of the Constitution”.
“I believe that no doctor will distract from the desire to collaborate to have a more modern national health service, with doctors obviously in the health centre and to give patients what they expect from us, and that’s what we have to give – he adds. So I am optimistic, I think we will eventually find a solution in the interest of citizens and I do not think that doctors and doctors of general medicine will fail to make a commitment within community homes.”.
