«Enough fairy tales about the new hospital! We need to complete the current one, with an extension».
Christian Mulas , president of the Health Commission of the Municipality of Alghero , is convinced of this .
«The Civil Hospital of Alghero, built and put into operation at the end of the 1960s, years when the city of Alghero had about 30,000 inhabitants, was able to guarantee an efficient service, even throughout the territory. Today more than ever with the increase in population, the tourist flow and the increasingly attentive request to the needs of hospital care from the hinterland, there is a need and the need to improve the hospital service with an expansion of a hospital complex departmental, organized into different levels of intensity and care».
A brand new hospital structure, promised several times in recent decades, seems destined to remain a chimera. That's why Mulas aims to renew the existing . «Today the civil hospital strongly needs radical interventions to adapt it to current regulations and modern quality, health, welfare, technological and structural standards. In recent years we have witnessed scientific, archaeological and geological studies in the Taulera locality, an area indicated by the Giunta Tedde in 2007 where the idea of a new civil hospital was envisaged with so much theory. How much water has passed under the bridge in recent years», says the president of the Health Commission, «without ever seeing a concrete answer, without ever seeing a first stone».
In the opinion of the UDC group leader, Christian Mulas, "an expansion with a garrison of excellence alongside the current Civil hospital would give more certainty to the Algherese health system , merging departments and improving services, today orphans of a territorial medicine programming".
