A shocking photo shared this evening on Facebook by the mayor of Silanus Gian Pietro Arca. An image that shakes the conscience on the conditions of public health in the Nuoro area, in particular in the emergency room of San Francesco di Nuoro.
A 15-year-old boy, resident of Silanus, has been lying suffering and lying for almost six hours on some chairs in the garrison room, who does not have a litter or staff available to visit him.
A case that comes the day after the visit to Nuoro by Undersecretary of Health Andrea Costa, recalled precisely by the serious shortages of personnel in the Nuoro hospital.
“The boy in the photo - explains Arca - is in the emergency room of the San Francesco Hospital from 3 pm and is still waiting to be examined. It was not possible to put him on a stretcher because, according to reports from health workers to his parents, there are none available. The same boy, last Tuesday, arrived at the emergency room at 12.45 and was sent home at 3.15 the next day, after the doctors had diagnosed him with pneumonia ".
“This was to see Undersecretary Andrea Costa! - continues the mayor - Of course the responsibilities are not to be attributed to the very few doctors who already do a lot, but to a health system that must be completely restructured ".
