By the end of the year, the Single Emergency Number 112 will also be activated in Sardinia, implementing the directive of the European Parliament and of the Council of the European Union which gathers the emergency numbers of 118, Carabinieri, Police, Vigili del Fire and Captaincy.
The important innovation in the emergency urgency system will insert the island among the Italian regions that have already started the model . It is one of the innovations contained in the first company deed of the Areus , presented to the trade unions and ready to be subjected to scrutiny by the Region for definitive approval .
From 2023 the Single Harmonized Number 116117 will also be operational, the free telephone service for non-urgent medical care , which will carry out the provisions of the NRP . “Providing the Areus with a company deed represents a fundamental step for the consolidation of this healthcare company. The act will make it possible to fully develop all the functions assigned by the Sardinia Region and will make Areus a regional reference point for the management of urgent health emergencies before arriving at the hospital ”, declares Areus general director Simonetta Bettelini .
