ROME - Italy is close to an emergency at the fall of doctors, nurses and health workers. "Within a few years there will, in fact, a major deficiency that needs to be addressed immediately to ensure service levels," said Walter Ricciardi, Director of the Institute of Hygiene, Faculty of Medicine Catholic University of Rome and co-ordinator Osservasalute Report 2010, presented today in Rome. Only for doctors in 2015 there will be 60 thousand pensioners who can not be replaced. And if to deal with the situation since last year the Minister of Health has asked for a 10% increase in registrations in Medicine, "the measure, unfortunately, will only bear fruit in ten years when today's freshmen will be specialized. It is a problem to be addressed immediately - Ricciardi continues by reporting the data in the report - because today there are no doctors in certain specialties such as pediatrics, anesthesiology, radiology, intensive care, otolaryngology, hygiene and public health. And, in the future, "there will be a terrible crisis in surgery. Why did three years of the schools in this area do not see specialization in all occupied places of training provided. This is because doctors are aware of the risks and fear of hitting, if they choose the operating room, in complaints from patients during his career. " They are, therefore, urgent countermeasures, "we will also implement strategies to encourage white coats," says Ricciardi remembering an episode in which he witnessed a few days ago. "Last week, ten doctors, very promising, were recruited in Pavia from Swedish universities and hospitals where, for once, earn 5 thousand euro net per month. An opportunity that Italy does not offer. " It serves, however, more immediately, otherwise also arrange assistance. "Faced with a shortage of medical tasks, such as applying a certain treatment, could be delegated to other figures, with shorter training, leaving the white coat more complex undertakings." Finally, as regards nurses, although nationally there has been a sharp increase between 2005 and 2007 the number of units is in absolute terms (+4.6%) and in relation to the population to 1,000 residents (+3.2%), today's hospitals and community services are in crisis. 1 to 10 SURRENDER TO THE DENTIST EVEN IF USED Italians are not all equal when it comes to dental treatment. One out of ten, in fact, surrender to the dentist even when they would need, especially in regions south of dental care, almost all borne by households are an important indicator of inequalities in access to health services, the Report points out Osservasalute 2010, presented this morning at the Gemelli Hospital in Rome. In six regions, all south - Sicily, Sardinia, Puglia, Sicily, Calabria and Basilicata - the level of waiver is higher than the national unmet need when it comes from a visit to the dentist. The value is highest in Basilicata (16%), while lower in Valle d'Aosta (3.5%). Values \u200b\u200bless than 8% were also reported in Liguria, Umbria, Friuli Venezia Giulia and the two autonomous provinces of Trentino Alto Adige.
SATISFACTION OF ITALIAN HOSPITALS The Italians who have benefited from hospital care to promote health facilities in the peninsula. According to the results of a survey conducted by ISTAT with the Centre National Health, the proceedings in the Italian regions of assistance received during hospitalization is a total positive. The survey covered the period 2007-2009 a sample of 24 000 families, for a total of 54 000 people distributed in 850 Italian municipalities of different sizes. The data were presented today in Rome, during the presentation of its 2010 report Osservasalute made by the Centre. 'The survey - says Antonio Giulio de Belvis, a researcher at the Institute of Hygiene of the Catholic University of Rome and scientific secretary of the Centre - has examined the degree of appreciation of the citizens for hospital care, expressed by those in three months prior to interview were admitted to hospital, evaluating three aspects of satisfaction with the hospital: medical care, assistance nursing and hospital food. " This shows a very low proportion of negative opinions on medical and nursing care, while more was judged unsatisfactory quality of the food. In detail, nationally 36% of people who have had a hospital for medical care are very satisfied, 52.8% fairly satisfied, while the 'very dissatisfied are less than 4%. In the South, however, satisfaction levels remain lower than the national average.
enormous gap between the Regions The Unification of Italy does not exist when it comes to health. The differences between the regions are enormous. "In our country does not really make sense to speak of statistical average, because numbers in this case, would not provide a realistic picture, "said Walter Ricciardi, Director of the Institute of Hygiene, Faculty of Medicine Catholic University of Rome and coordinator of Osservasalute Report 2010, unveiled in Rome. "In some fields - said Ricciardi - the results vary so much that it seems impossible to be in the same country. The Friuli Venezia Giulia, for example, infant mortality lowest in the world. But in some areas of southern data is closer to North Africa than Europe. " And again. "For transplants: Molinette hospital in Turin are carried out 133 liver transplants a year. In Lazio there are 5 transplant centers that together make 120, "Ricciardi added. In this context, however, you can also see the glass half full. "These huge differences - says Eugene Anessi Pessina, Professor of Economics at the Catholic University, among the 203 scientists who carried out the report - they want to say too much room for improvement. The problem is knowing how to exploit. It also serves as political will: the administrators should be encouraged to achieve the goals. And most importantly, managers are better prepared. " And the manager, Ricciardi continues, "is fundamental investire.Oggi a good administrator can not see the horizon of health as his career, both for political interference (By management selection) and for the lack of transparency in the evaluation of its performance, both for wages, is much too low, "concludes
