Salvatore Argiolas, president of the Mountain Community, and Luca Pilia, mayor, visited the emergency room at the San Giuseppe Calasanzio hospital in Isili at the end of the morning. The situation appears to be critical for the continued operation of the emergency service .
Tomorrow morning, the general director of the Cagliari Local Health Authority (ASL) has summoned the mayors to the hospital's main hall for " urgent communications from management ." This request has caused alarm among administrators and patients themselves, who have been anxiously dealing with the emergency room's intermittent operation for years. During the visit, representatives of local institutions spoke directly with healthcare workers and several patients waiting in line, finding a picture of significant operational disruption, primarily due to staff shortages and complex shift management.
"We find ourselves," they said, "faced with an extremely delicate and worrying situation . Any closure or downsizing caused by a lack of staff would pose serious risks to the health and safety of all citizens in the area."
"It's essential to prevent the closure," added Eugenio Lai, mayor of Escolca . "We can't put the health of our residents at risk, especially given the lack of general practitioners, pediatricians, and emergency medical services." Meanwhile, the company is initiating discussions. However, no official statement has been released on what is happening; we'll have to wait for tomorrow's meeting.
