“We are at the” redde rationem “for short-sighted choices”


Thus the president at the ceremony, via videoconference, of the Hippocratic Oath of the Order of doctors. The message to the new members: proud of you

«The Medical Orders of Campobasso and Isernia are part of the crisis unit of this pandemic. Their contribution is really very useful, indispensable ». Thus the president of the Molise Region Donato Toma, as reported by an Ansa note, at the opening of the online ceremony of the Hippocratic oath of two new doctors. «I express all the gratitude on my personal behalf and on the Region that I have the honor to represent – declared Toma – to all the doctors, nurses, social and health personnel. For months you have been making countless efforts, in a context in some cases on the verge of a real collapse. In the hospitals of the country we are witnessing an over-pressure of the public health system. Unfortunately, we have arrived at the ‘redde rationem’ resulting from short-sighted choices made over time to the detriment of public health. For years the government has practiced linear cuts, preventing turnover, blocking competitions, marginalizing local medicine, weakening the health system ”. “In Molise, for over a decade in the Health debt repayment plan – said Toma – the ax has been even more ruthless. Before the pandemic broke out, at the Conference of the Regions we were well on the way to approving the Health Pact. We approved it. We have not yet been able to implement it. The hope is that in a few months we can return to deal with the health pact, in order to speed up the reorganization of the entire national health system ”. “In the care of a patient there are two clear words – concluded Toma – appropriateness and humanization. We are proud of you, good job ». One of the two new doctors to swear is now the youngest member of the Order of Campobasso: this is Antonio Perfetto, 23, from Termoli, who graduated with honors from the University of Padua.
