Chiara Seazzu, general director of the Aou of Cagliari , was received in audience by Pope Francis this morning. In the meeting, which was attended by the general managers of Asl, hospitals and Ircs of Italy that adhere to Federsanità, the pontiff thanked the health professionals for what they do every day : "With your commitment - said the Saint Father - contribute to maintaining the relationship between center and periphery, between small and large, by weaving relationships and promoting paths of social, health and social welfare integration ", inviting everyone to" break the chains of selfishness "and praising public health.

"When a country loses this wealth that is public health - were Bergoglio's words -, it begins to make distinctions between the population, those who have access, who can have healthcare, for a fee, and those who are without a health service" . Appeal shared by Tiziana Frittelli, president of Federsanità: "Only in this way will we be able to guarantee access to assistance services for all, ensuring the social cohesion of the country and helping to make the issue of health central to national planning".

“It was a very exciting moment - is the comment of Chiara Seazzu -, the words of Pope Francis encourage us to work ever more intensely to improve our health. The pandemic has shown how important it is to have a system that is always able to better respond to citizens' health demands ”.

The manager of the Aou of Cagliari yesterday participated in the national executive of Federsanità during which strategies for improving the quality of health services in post Covid were examined.

For Sardinia, the general directors of Brotzu Agnese Foddis and the Sassari ASL Flavio Sensi took part in the audience with Pope Francis.
