The plan to strengthen the 118 rescue service in the main tourist areas of Sardinia in the summer begins. The pre-hospital health emergency is therefore preparing to cope with the high influx of visitors expected until September 30th .
The Regional Emergency Emergency Company (AREUS) plans not only to extend the opening times of some basic stations managed by the affiliated associations and cooperatives all year round, but also to activate new basic and advanced stations where necessary.
And thanks to the availability of AREUS nurses, the Company will also be able to count this year on nursing emergency vehicles capable of managing the so-called "time-dependent" pathologies more appropriately, i.e. which need to be treated in the shortest possible time by healthcare personnel adequately trained.
In places further away from the main urban centres, the plan aims in particular to strengthen rescue services with basic ambulances . The aim is thus to make the network of emergency vehicles more widespread and to arrive at the scene of the event in the shortest time possible.
In the territory of the ASL of Cagliari , basic emergency vehicles will be present 24 hours a day in Costa Rei and Torre delle Stelle . In Villasimius the service will be strengthened with an additional 24-hour station which will have a nurse on board during certain time slots. In Pula the basic service will be extended, guaranteeing the presence of rescuers at 12 noon, from 8am on Monday to 8pm on Thursday and 24 hours on weekends.
Areus, however, is waiting to define the strengthening of the 118 24 hour service in Chia-Domus de Maria .
In the territory of the Carbonia Local Health Authority, the transformation of the vehicle already operational into a station with nurses on board in certain time slots has been planned in Carloforte - Isola di San Pietro. Service also enhanced in the seaside resorts of where the operating association will expand the service for 13 hours. Also in Giba, Areus is establishing an advanced vehicle with nurses on board from 15 July 24 hours a day on weekends.
