«In Soleminis there was a serious imbalance in the provision of a primary service with obvious social and social repercussions we want to know when we will finally be able to have a permanent doctor without forcing families to move to Serdiana."
The mayor of Soleminis, Fedele la Delfa, makes yet another appeal to the regional health authorities for the appointment of a general practitioner to take the place of Mariangela Pedditzi who retired on 1 July.
For seven months, patients at the Parteolla center have been forced to move to Serdiana for a visit or prescription of drugs . «The local health authority had identified a replacement for Soleminis and Serdiana but then changed its mind, assigning the doctor only to Serdiana. There is clear discrimination against us."
Meanwhile , Dr. Francesca Ferrante, a general practitioner with a clinic in Serdiana who many Soleminis users turn to, has obtained ownership of the office with a maximum of 1,000 patients . The patients he was in charge of are automatically forfeited and will have to choose a doctor from scratch. «There is a strong disorientation especially among the elderly and vulnerable people – the mayor points out – the situation is becoming unsustainable».
