«The need to invest in training and in expanding the university training offer dedicated to health professions in the province of Salerno must be a priority, and the Campania region must deploy all possible resources to facilitate this path. Our territory deserves adequate training opportunities to guarantee young people closer and direct access to these professions, to respond effectively to the growing demand for qualified personnel in the healthcare sector and to ensure essential and uniform levels of assistance to the citizens of Campania». He declared it Tommaso Pellegrinogroup leader of Italia Viva in the Regional Council of Campania, during his speech at the Congress of the Order of Health Professions of the Province of Salerno
«Currently, at the University of Salerno only two degree courses for health professions are activeintended for radiology technicians and laboratory technicians – explained Pellegrino -. A situation that absolutely must change: out of a total of 18 courses planned, it is essential that Salerno can also offer a wider range of training, responding to the needs of a crucial sector for the well-being of our society».
«I want to thank the President of the TSRM and PSTRP Order of Salerno, Carmine Pecoraro together with the entire board of directors who support him, and the national vice president of dental hygienists and treasurer of the Order, Alfonso Santonicolafor the organization of this precious opportunity for discussion from which politicians must be able to draw the right proposals to support increasingly efficient and qualified public health» concluded the Group Leader of Italia Viva.

What are the specific strategies that can be implemented to effectively expand training programs for health professions in Salerno?
Editor: Good morning, thank you for agreeing to this interview. My first question is about the importance of expanding training programs in Salerno for health professions. Can you both please share your thoughts on why this initiative is essential for the province and the larger Campania region?
Guest 1: Tommaso Pellegrino: The expansion of training programs in health professions in Salerno is crucial because it will help address the growing demand for qualified personnel in the healthcare sector. The province and Campania region deserve adequate training opportunities to ensure that their citizens have access to essential and uniform levels of healthcare. It is also an investment in the future of our society, as we prepare the next generation of healthcare professionals to meet the challenges of a rapidly evolving healthcare landscape.
Guest 2: Carmine Pecoraro: Exactly. Healthcare is an essential service that every citizen deserves, regardless of their location. By providing more training opportunities in Salerno, we will not only be able to meet the current demand for healthcare professionals but also create a more competitive and skilled workforce. This will attract new healthcare facilities and investments to the region, ultimately improving the overall quality of life for our people. In addition, it will help reduce the disparities in healthcare access and outcomes between different regions in Italy.

These include nursing, pharmacy, physiotherapy, and medical imaging technicians, to name a few.

For instance, Salerno has a thriving dental hygiene sector, but the current training programs are limited. Therefore, expanding dental hygiene education should be a top priority. Additionally, we should explore the possibility of creating specialized
