« The shortage of life - saving drugs in pharmacies on the island is becoming a highly worrying phenomenon . The difficulties in the supply of medicines are also sending the mental health centers into a crisis which, for some months, have been delivering the last remaining packages".
This was denounced by the regional councilor of the 5-star Movement Desirè Manca who presented a question to the Health Councilor Carlo Doria so that the territorial pharmacies and mental health centers of Sardinia be supplied with the medicines necessary to meet the needs of all the chronically ill.
«There are many worried patients – claims the pentastellata – because, from next month, presumably, they will not be able to carry out therapies to which they have been undergoing for a lifetime . We are talking about extremely fragile people who cannot live without care, for whom 2023 has begun with a new nightmare: the impossibility of being treated, of being well".
«The reality that people touch with their hands every day is completely different from the one represented to us by the health commissioner, who has repeatedly minimized the problem – is the accusation -. Patients who go to local pharmacies are made aware of the shortage of medicines, and of the risk of not being able to continue the therapies with the same medicines. A situation that is getting out of hand, and which adds up to the lack of public health services in the area . Taking care of yourself is becoming a luxury that few can afford. Waiting lists are still blocked, as are the agendas of many departments, and citizens are forced to deprive themselves of basic necessities in order to be able to make urgent visits in private. Paying big bucks for their pockets. What is the Sardinia Region doing to resolve this situation?».
