From the outside, it looks anything but a newly opened healthcare facility. Those who have been making their way to the Tramatza Community Center, recently opened by the Oristano Local Health Authority, for several days now find themselves confronted by a construction site . Outside, there's debris, building materials, and tools, as well as red and white tape marking off the construction areas. But the situation isn't improving inside. The hallways are bare and the rooms are unfurnished, with the air conditioning units still sealed despite the high temperatures. The floors are old. Many residents are eager to take photographs to report the situation.
Even at night, there's trouble. A security guard with a flashlight greets those arriving. There's no street lighting along the winding outside path .
This paradoxical situation was also denounced a few days ago by the Art 32 association . President Cesare Secci, after an inspection, explained that the facility was absolutely not ready to host the various healthcare services, given that the work, funded by the National Recovery and Resilience Plan (PNRR), was still ongoing. "The primary requirement for accessibility of a Community Home is that residents can find it without uncertainty," President Secci observed. "This is even more true for elderly or frail patients." Regarding the Art 32 association's complaints, the Oristano Local Health Authority management reiterated a few days ago that it had activated the minimum services in the areas of the buildings where the work was completed. "For this reason," the Local Health Authority stated, "activity areas and construction sites coexist."
