«Another hard blow to the detriment of diabetic patients which is delegated by regional addresses. By now it is written in black and white on the Brotzu company deed: the Diabetes facility passes to the Cagliari ASL and it is likely that the facility will be included in the new clinic that will have to be opened in Quartu ».
The complaint is from Gianfranco Angioni, regional head of Usb Sanità, who announces: the union "is ready to build barricades and implement various forms of protest".
For USB , what is happening without the involvement of the various professionals who operate within the Brotzu service is "unacceptable, much less can we tolerate the possibility of further complicating the health and lives of diabetic patients".
The center treats over 5,000 patients and several Diagnostic Therapeutic Care Pathways (Pdta) have already been set up within the hospital, which are clinical management tools for defining the best care process aimed at responding to specific needs of diabetes complications such as the one of the diabetic foot, metabolic decompensation, gestational diabetes and various other serious complications such as ophthalmological, vascular and nephrological ones . The structure is also a prescribing center for type 1 diabetes and type 2 diabetes.
«It would be truly unthinkable to be able to manage the various diabetes complications in Quartu», concludes Angioni, «considering that the management of the diabetic patient is carried out in collaboration with the Brotzu operating units».
