The health emergency in Campania has never been so serious. The infection curve is constantly increasing and hospital structures are collapsing. The experts' concern is greatest especially if we consider that winter is still long and that with the arrival of seasonal flu the situation could worsen even more.
In the previous documents we dealt with the health emergency by Corona Virus and we tried to provide not only the complaint of critical issues and violations but also the concrete solutions and measures to be implemented in the shortest possible time.
The white photographer of the health: Together we can change things
The Law Firm Vinino, Once again, He demonstrates all his commitment and work made not only in the moral and psychological support of citizens, but also in the concrete implementation of projects and measures suitable for determining a positive and constructive change of the state of affairs.
One of the certainly more decisive objectives are expanded in the daily editorial staff of a "white health photograph" on which to write down and collect all the reports of the dysfunctions and the serious injustices that are perpetrated every day at the expense of the sick and less wealthy citizens. The goal as prefixed, so, provides for the concrete analysis and monitoring of the state of public and private health in Campania, of the collection of all welfare complaints and the cases of medical malpractice that unfortunately every day occur precisely at the expense of elderly people or those who harass in less wealthy economic conditions. A legal team will be prepared available to all citizens, directed by the Avv. Riccardo Vizzino, Ready to offer legal protection and moral support for all situations of illness and institutional abandonment suitable for representing an unacceptable injury of the right to health.
With regular deadlines, The book thus drawn up will be filed with the competent prosecutors for the appropriate investigations and criminal consequences. Therefore, We invite you to report the dysfunctions and irregularities found and everything that does not work in the field of public health, Since only by activating things, things can change.
The dramatic condition of the elderly
The dramatic picture described evolves in a negative sense even more at the expense of the weakest category in this period, most affected by the harmful effects of Covid, that is the elderly.
For the latter, it does not exist, to the state, protection, a hospital garrison, A health facility capable of guaranteeing them beds in case of negative surviving for their health and this is because today we tend mostly to think that the only existing disease and the only one that deserves a health treatment worthy of the name is Covid, without keeping, Instead, in due consideration the fact that the elderly are subjects, by their nature, to various health problems, which similarly need adequate care and treatments.
Well, you can't, For the pandemic we are facing, block the whole health system as it has been done so far and prevent, or in any case limit to the inverting, Access to healthcare facilities, whose beds, moreover, they are now almost completely occupied by the patients of Coronavirus.
Nobody today, in particular the elderly, It can be free to book visits, that is to plan a long term care, And this is due to the fact that the national health system, for everything that comes from the infection from Coronavirus, it is stopped; A large amount of visits and exams already booked with emergency code and relating to other sectors of medicine not involved in the Coronavirus affair have been canceled by public health facilities. Medical performance, including specialist visits and diagnostic tests, provided directly by the ASL and the accredited private individual, they are not accepted, If not in cases of extreme urgency, and there are very serious delays in the therapies and in the administration of the same. To this is added that often the sick refuse to access hospital facilities as they have the profound fear of contracting the virus in such environments. And this is exactly what is being verified in the South. Elderly people feel abandoned by hospital structures and put aside by the institutions, treated as sacrificial lambs, Like the minor evil in a condition characterized by great inability and superficiality of the regional government.
Block of the health conventions: No care for those who don't pay!
As part of the investigation carried out on the territory precisely for the identification of the problems in the health sector that afflict the elderly and less wealthy people we learned the case of a poor and elderly lady who due to a domestic injury had reported the fracture of the femur. Assisted by her family members immediately refused to go to the hospital for the care of the case precisely because of the fear of contracting the crown virus in these places. We deepened the question in order to offer the right protections and assistance and on the occasion we have become aware of a further problem that in fact prevents the poor woman from taking care and obtaining the necessary treatments from public structures. Indeed, Family members reported that due to the blockage made on hospital conventions for treatments and instrumental examinations, having no financial resources, It was not possible to transport the elderly woman to the hospital and pay the care.
The seriousness of the situation is truly disconcerting especially to the extent that, Today, Citizens who cannot afford paid care certainly represent the majority.
Every year the Campania Region establishes a certain economic budget to be divided between the various ASL of the Campania territory and intended to cover medical expenses for those who are exempt due to illness or income. Therefore, Those who have the basic requirements can go to diagnostic centers and private laboratories that are in agreement with the ASLs and through the demanding and payment of a ticket access a whole series of specialist treatments and instrumental tests.
Unfortunately, the current situation is not responding to what has just been reported as the funds allocated by the Region are completed since October therefore, Those who do not have the opportunity to make paid treatments are forced to contact exclusively to public structures which, however, have expectations of expectations that can arrive in some cases even at six months! The indignation and despair in the face of such a situation cannot fail to assume the tones of drama if you think that in some cases postpone a specialist visit or an instrumental examination of even one month can be lethal for the patient. It is then added that acting promptly on certain diseases can mean greatly reducing the costs for final treatments. And that's exactly what is happening today and that will happen in the future months. Long waiting lists will have very serious repercussions on the possibility of healing those who are afflicted by diseases or pathologies and there will be a dizzying increase in the costs that public health will have to take charge to treat those same diseases not diagnosed in the right times.
Everyday, at this point, come to our study, shocking and overhanging news of poor citizens, who find themselves having to live the last moments of life between atrocious suffering and in a state of total abandonment by the health system.
This is the case of a lady, that for privacy we will call Teresa, which denounces and tells us between tears and pain, its difficult health conditions. Affected by very serious pathologies, as well as from economic problems, has long been waiting for a liver transplant and specialist care but, Just in recent months, the necessary care and assistance have been denied.. His words of despair turn not only to his condition but also to that of the many sick people who are like her to have to live a health system that in fact prefers and prefers treatments exclusively towards Covid patients.
In this regard, Also through the "White Health Paper", The competent authorities will be informed of everything reported and the absolute need to restore the funds for the conventions in the health sector will be reiterated loudly.
Given the severity of the events just narrated, the Law Firm Vinino reserves any legal action aimed at guaranteeing the right to the health of citizens, identify and ascertain the responsibilities for the entities and obtain due compensation for those who have suffered damage to health.
Naso buffer - Faringi for a fee: SPECULATIONSAnd inconvenience
The events we have witnessed in recent weeks also impose a duty reflection on the urgency to immediately predict the possibility for the less well -off citizens to carry out the Faringi nose swabs for free also by private laboratories. Such intervention is considered necessary as to date with the numbers of the contagious in an increase, public health facilities are unable to guarantee adequate and timely treatments and home care for those who are in quaranenda. There are many news that arrives with people closed at home even for more than twenty days waiting for the arrival of the ASL.
We have collected the testimonies of those who, When they came to the public structures to carry out the swabs they found themselves having to live a real ordeal characterized by interminable and dangerous assessments of people. Absence of inhuman checks and conditions are only a small part of the problem; not wanting to keep in mind, just for a moment, The very serious violation of the right to health must also think of the difficult economic conditions in which entire families are found. In the event of trustee isolation or quarantine, many citizens are forced to stay at home and stop working and all this takes on the tones of the economic catastrophe to the extent that the ASL checks to formalize the negativeness of the buffers, It also happens after 20 days! Having accredited private centers in this sense to dispose of the work of the ASL does not solve the problem in any way as the less wealthy citizens do not however have the economic possibility of submitting the whole family unit to the paid buffer. It should be remembered that in recent months the sad phenomenon of speculation on naso-fooling tampons has spread widely in the South. The delays of the ASL, The bad organization of the same make it necessary to contact the private structures that behind the payment of large sums of money, circa 100 euro per buffer, offer home assistance and results in restricted times.
At this point, The only concrete solution to be implemented would be to put the costs of the swabs carried out at the private centers by citizens with minor financial resources for the ASLs, as it is absolutely not correct and legitimate that dysfunctions, inability andBad gestium they go to fall on the weakest people.
