Font size

Over 1,500 citizens of Bella (Potenza) risk being without their family doctor from November 22nd, following the retirement of one of the two general practitioners operating in the Municipality.

The mayor, Leonardo Sabato, raised the alarm and asked the Basilicata Region and the ASP to intervene to guarantee continuity of assistance.

"Every day I receive dozens of citizens in the Municipality, mostly elderly, who are, to say the least, desperate and distressed at the thought of being left without medical assistance and without certain answers", denounces the mayor. "The community of Bella is tired of witnessing the progressive and silent dismantling of local health services. In an area characterized by populous hamlets geographically distant from the town centre, the family doctor is not a luxury, but an indispensable constitutional right".

In a note sent to the President of the Region, the Regional Councilor for Health and the leaders of the ASP, the mayor urges the granting of a temporary extension to the outgoing doctor, who has declared himself willing to continue the activity while waiting for a replacement to be identified. Furthermore, the mayor asked for the planning of extraordinary subsidiary measures to avoid even a single day of healthcare discontinuity and the immediate convening of a discussion table with the regional health councilor and the ASP leaders.

Breast cancer, 4 out of 10 women have not received a letter for screening

In the Chamber of Deputies, as part of Pink October, the results of a survey on adherence to breast cancer screening were presented: 73% of those invited took part, with territorial disparities (80% in the North, 69% in the Centre, 54% in the South, 53% in the Islands). Among non-adherent women, 59% have already carried out the exam independently recently, while only 3% express explicit disinterest. The event, promoted by the parliamentary intergroup 'Together for a commitment against cancer' and 50 patient associations, highlighted the need to improve access and effectiveness of national screening.
