“The Order of doctors is calling for a total lockdown throughout the country. This was announced a little while ago by the Gr2 Rai, which interviewed the president of the National Federation of Orders, Fnomceo, Filippo Anelli, who lit a light on the lack of medical specialists, while 23,000 graduate doctors are waiting to be able to specialize. And the rankings are blocked due to numerous appeals. Anelli asks, once again, to admit them all. “It would be a breath of fresh air for the system,” he said. Skeptical, however, about the switch of doctors specialized in other branches towards the treatment of COVID. ‘If an ophthalmologist has to become an internist, something does not work. Training is not an optional’, he concluded ‘”. This is what we read on the Fnomceo Facebook page.

“The shortage is there, 5,000-7,000 doctors today and the estimate tends to increase. We have 23,000 doctors who have participated in the specialization competition, blocked by appeals. Putting all 23,000 into the system would be a big shot in the arm. We would have no doctors. specialists but we would have help from these colleagues, but they are always doctors. In this moment of great emergency, this is needed. If an ophthalmologist has to become an internist, it means that something no longer works. Training is not optional “, said Anelli during the Rai Gr2.
