In Sorgono, air ambulance service will be guaranteed day and night, every day of the week . The news came Tuesday evening, following a meeting at the San Francesco hospital between Councilor Armando Bartolazzi and ASL 3 Commissioner Angelo Zuccarelli. They were joined by health director Pierpaolo Bitti and administrative director Paola Raspitzu. While Sorgono is happy, Ogliastra is champing at the bit . Isolated, certainly, but slightly less so than Mandrolisai, in the cruel ranking of health problems, Lanusei had hoped for recognition as a base, thanks to the operational capabilities of the fire department's helipad.
Sorgono Mayor Franco Zedde is more than satisfied: "Since there was an opportunity for a fourth base, given that the other three are located along the coast, we are pleased to have it in central Sardinia. In twenty minutes, leaving from Sorgono, we can cover a very large catchment area. The president has guaranteed her support, and we have provided the area free of charge."
