ROMA (ITALPRESS) – “I believe this is a maneuver that has given much to health and we have gained additional resources significantly. They don’t count only funds but also how to use them and counts to have a vision.” The Minister of Health Orazio Schillaci, guest at Start on Sky TG24. “This maneuver clearly looks at the news that are being introduced in the National Health Service. The first is to value the human capital more and more, doctors and nurses. On this there are important increases for them there are additional assumptions. I would like to recall that beyond the assumptions for which there are funds in this manoeuvre, the regions can with the health fund shared among themselves also assume”, he continued.
“The Ocse data indicates how Italy is the first nation for life expectancy in the world so the National Health Service that so many attack, only in Italy, obviously works. We must focus on prevention because in order to maintain our National Sustainable Health Service and maintain above all the principles on which it was founded 47 years ago, i.e. free access to care, equity, attention to weak and fragile, we must ensure that the number of patients in the future decreases. There are ad hoc funds for prevention, some screenings have been reviewed, thinking about breast cancer, there are funds to complete the latest research,” said Schillaci.
“It’s a maneuver that looks at those who are health problems, which has the resources to deploy for regions. From the economic point of view everyone would want more and more funds available – said the minister -. We have returned to be the first longest nation in Europe. We spend so much on health, we spend what we can afford. If we look at pro-capite spending there is a clear reverse: today we spend more per capita for health. The comparisons made with some countries are sometimes a little simplified. Some performances such as diagnostics abroad cost more than in Italy: a tac or resonance in Italy costs less than in other European countries and the United States”.
