Too many stretchers return to crowd the emergency room of the Cardarelli hospital in Naples: the president of the Region Vincenzo De Luca has expressed himself in this regard, addressing the new government

It seems an infinite emergency that too often grips theCardarelli hospital di Napoli, invaded by too many stretchers in the hall and in the corridors of the first aid. In this way, neither the distance nor the privacy of the patients is preserved. Most of these are white and yellow codes that could be handled in local clinics, as he said Vincenzo De Luca.

It is not the first emergency department

A problem, that of the complete saturation of the spaces of the PS, now well known and already for many years ready to repeat itself with an almost Swiss constancy.

An emergency aggravated by the Covid crisis, although the state of emergency has ended, each Covid entrance calls into question the entire emergency room in the minutes immediately following, a problem that does not improve its management.

Speaking of the stretchers that crowd the emergency room of the first hospital in the South, the president of the Campania Region Vincenzo De Luca spoke during a conference of the Italian Federation of health and hospital companies held precisely at Cardarelli.

The governor appealed to the mole Meloni government to make decisions above all on the problem of the scarcity and remuneration of the emergency room staff of the Nosocomio Nosocomio nopeo: "We have both a problem of shortage of medical personnel for the emergency and a salary problem"Said De Luca.

In addition to these problems are also added those of the scarcity of territorial clinics they should do "The filter then leads to the unloading of thousands of patients in the emergency room, who in 90% of cases can be treated safely in clinics - explained the president of the Campania Region -. So the vast majority of accesses to the emergency rooms are white or yellow codes ".

Just over a month ago, the emergency overcrowding of stretchers in the emergency room of theAntonio Cardarelli hospital had reappeared after the peaks during the pandemic, when patient accesses per day reached 200. However, even in pre-Covid years it was necessary to fight against this anomaly which represents an age-old problem, especially since other hospitals, such as the Santa Maria degli Incurabili and San Gennaro, they had to close their emergency rooms.
