Piazza XX Settembre is packed at the start of the march. Around a thousand people are marching through Guspini to demand answers about local healthcare. The march, promoted by all the council groups, will pass through Via Gramsci, Via Di Vittorio, Via Malagoli, and Via Sereni toward the municipal outpatient clinic, where a public meeting on the right to healthcare is scheduled.
The problems that have driven the town to take to the streets are well-known and have been dragging on for years : three general practitioners for nearly 11,000 residents, Asap clinics that fail to meet the population's needs, and an emergency medical service that struggles to maintain shifts, especially at night and on holidays. Those paying the highest price are the elderly and chronically ill, with long waiting lists, postponed appointments, and constant travel out of town. The meeting in the square in front of the Local Health Authority (ASL) on Via Montale will then feature interventions by the council groups .
