She is 74 years old, widowed, affected by Parkinson's disease, with supranuclear palsy, with chronic respiratory insufficiency, tracheostomized, on mechanical ventilation 24 hours a day: she needs drugs and aids to stay alive. But they aren't there: the ASL hasn't had them available for months.
The drama experienced by an old woman from Sant'Elia, in Cagliari , is told by Marcello Roberto Marchi, knight of the Republic and now engaged in the battle against the distortions of the system to the detriment of citizens.
"This poor woman and her family are in despair", she denounces, "because the regional pharmacy located at the Fiera Campionaria does not dispense medicines and aids: it hasn't had them for months".
This would not be an isolated case: "Like this woman, hundreds of patients would find themselves in the same situation who would not even be able to find the drugs and aids to buy out of their own pocket".
For Marchi , the story must reach the Regional Council, which instead "is playing around with other pleasant matters, wasting financial resources that should be directed to those who really need public support".
