The operating block of the Nostra Signora di Bonaria hospital in San Gavino is also closed for "at least 15 days". And patients from all over southern Sardinia - but also many from Nuorese and Ogliastra - will have only one destination if they want to be treated: Cagliari, with its hospitals that are exploding under unprecedented pressure. The Brotzu, above all. The collapse of the system is around the corner.
The "urgent" communication from the Medio Campidano health facility bears the signature of the director of the facility, Sergio Pili, and the general director of the ASL Giorgio Carboni. The recipients are the managers of all the other healthcare companies in southern Sardinia, the top management of 118 and the regional health department.
This time we are not talking about a shortage of doctors, a shortage of nursing staff or structural problems. To explain the reasons for the closure, which will start from May 3rd, the communication states that it is necessary to carry out work to make the operating rooms compatible with the new sterilization system for surgical instruments. A construction site which, apparently, will occupy essential spaces to make use of the operating block. The stop will last "at least" two weeks. Even if the company makes it known that the company has been asked not to interrupt the intervention on weekends and is confident in a reduction in time.
Last week the manager of Brotzu had raised the alarm: «We have run out of beds in numerous departments due to the closures in other hospitals» ( HERE IS THE NEWS ).
