Leaks, puddles of water, and soaked ceilings : this is the situation the Brotzu hospital in Cagliari faces every time it rains . The critical issues affect the main entrance, the pre-triage area, and even an operating room, posing potential risks to patients and staff. Gianfranco Angioni, USB Sanità company representative and worker safety representative (RLS), is calling for immediate, structural interventions to permanently eliminate the leaks. The union guarantees that it will ensure that the new management acts responsibly, promptly, and transparently.
According to USB Sanità, the situation is the result of years of inadequate maintenance and represents a burdensome legacy for the soon-to-be-appointed director general . Resolving the problem must become a structural and strategic priority. Despite the challenges, Arnas Brotzu continues to be the jewel in the crown of the island's healthcare system, a sought-after facility for professionals, where every day thousands of staff ensure excellent care, advanced technology, and continuity of care with professionalism and dedication.
Today, USB Sanità reiterates the need for a more effective, transparent, and long-term organization. To this end, it will propose to the new general manager a series of concrete actions to ensure immediate, verifiable, and structural interventions: a detailed overview of the areas affected by infiltration and a vulnerability mapping; the establishment of a permanent control room, with competent technical and healthcare personnel, to monitor critical issues and work; and the publication of the measures the company intends to adopt to ensure effective and verifiable solutions.
