Milan, 2 July (LaPresse) – “Everyone has made an enormous effort to build, together, a new era of local healthcare. This represents a change for the better in the healthcare system. And I want to thank everyone who has worked towards this goal. For those who are lagging behind, there is a support programme, because the real challenge is not simply opening the facilities. It is ensuring they operate everywhere, in the same way. Across the whole peninsula. On 26 June, the Agreement on the National Collective Agreement for General Practice was then ratified. It is not merely a technical agreement. It marks the moment when the ‘Community Centres’ project truly gets under way.” So said the Minister for Health, Orazio Schillaci, during Question Time in the Senate. In his speech, the Minister “thanked the regions that had the courage to propose, alongside the Ministry, a comprehensive and ambitious reform. Because patients’ needs have changed, and healthcare must change with them. ‘This agreement,’ Schillaci continued, ‘is the foundation and tells us that we must focus more on teamwork – no longer on the individual practitioner in their surgery, but on a team that genuinely focuses on prevention, that returns to listening to and examining patients.’
