“Rosora also remains without a doctor. Giunta Acquaroli strikes a blow after 4 years of nothing”

Also thanks to the timely intervention of the mayor Sauro Ragni and the opposition who immediately raised the issue in the regional council, AST managed to find a stopgap solution for Staffolo.

We hope that this will also happen for Rosora, on whose case we will present inspection documents shortly.

Beyond the specific situations and the patches that the health service tries to put in from time to time, a broader reflection on the fate of the internal areas in our Region is called for.

The right-wing coalition that won the elections in 2020 had promised heaven and earth to “relaunch” the internal areas. Four years later, the Acquaroli administration’s budget is more than a failure. The villages of the Marche region, as recently highlighted by the Sole 24 Ore investigation, are depopulating at a much higher rate than the rest of the country. The phenomenon does not only concern earthquake areas. The internal areas of the province of Ancona have suffered a decline of 8.9% in the last 10 years, placing them in a worrying 21st place at a national level.

This should not surprise us. The internal areas are becoming increasingly depleted of services: in addition to the problem of the shortage of general practitioners with medical guards increasingly absent, the impact of the closure of bank branches, post office branches and commercial activities must also be taken into account. .

The Acquaroli Council not only remained mostly inert, but often aggravated the situation with wrong choices, for example through the very heavy cut of resources to the Local Action Groups (GAL), subjects responsible for the development of rural areas. Compared to the large banking groups, it has shown its inability to have an impact by failing to impose due attention on the territory. From the point of view of the organization of the health service, then, the Regional Social-Health Plan was drawn up without any criterion of equity, deliberately and consciously affecting some areas such as Vallesina and the Valle del Misa and Nevola. With respect to the problem of lack of medical personnel which also caused the situation in Rosora, no steps were taken to hire people which had also been promised by councilor Saltamartini, but which were not followed up on.

In the meantime, all the institutions must now mobilize alongside the community of Rosora to guarantee the continuity of the medical assistance service, preserving a fundamental garrison that cannot and must not be interrupted at the end of the year.
