“Hospital at high risk Accorsi finally understood”

“Mayor Accorsi finally seems to have realized that the Cento hospital and the emergency room are at high risk of downsizing and confirmed that our concerns were founded. Too bad he didn’t say a word about the Birth Point. Oversight or strategy?”. To say the municipal secretary of the League, Luca Cardi and the regional councilor, Fabio Bergamini.

“We don’t want the mayor to shout victory in a few months by telling the centesi that he has saved the emergency room, with heavy cuts, such as a probable reduction in the number of doctors – they say – but that the price to pay is that of the birth point. If there is a lack of investments and the mothers are directed elsewhere, a negative spiral is triggered from which it becomes impossible to escape. And the closure of the Birth Center would be only the first in a long series of cuts”. And they go up. “Accorsi tell us what your plan is and how you intend to act: in addition to organizing group photos in front of the hospital, are you also willing to concretely fight against the cuts wanted by the regional Democratic Party, at the cost of jeopardizing your political future in the Democratic Party? – they thunder -. We do not accept any cuts, neither in the Emergency Department, nor even in the Birth Center. For this reason we continue, day after day, with the collection of signatures, which continues at full speed. A petition that allows us to speak with hundreds of people worried about the future of the hospital and healthcare in Cento, people to whom the mayor is not giving answers”. In this regard, also the parent company of Fratelli d’Italia. “Mayor, since he doesn’t answer my phone calls, I’m asking here – says Francesca Caldarone -, why haven’t you come yet to sign the petition that affects our city and for the good of the territory?”. Thousands of signatures collected, even beyond the municipal borders. “Even Fratelli d’Italia in Vigarano, to protect the citizens of the Upper Ferrarese, is collecting signatures against the closure of the Emergency Room and the Birth Point of the Cento Hospital – says Oskar Spath, president of the territorial club -. This wicked operation, if it were put in place, it would make a large area of ​​our territory uncovered for the emergency room, with harmful repercussions for the citizens. Concerns also expressed by our deputy mayor Maurizio Zanella and by the competent councilor Francesca “. Banquets on Saturday from 10 to 12 in the square in Vigarano and Sunday at the same times in Vigarano Pieve. And after having criticized the choice of the centre-right for launching this initiative, defined as a non-unitary operation, it is Pride Centese who is promoting another one. “United for the emergency room is the appeal launched by Prime Minister Matteo Veronesi and by many citizens who are asking for collaboration to save our emergency room from the risk of closure – they write -. So we want to respond to this appeal by embracing the many initiatives born and that are emerging. For this reason, a collection of signatures is starting, which has the clear intention of sending a strong signal of our territory to protect the hospital of Cento, far from symbols and political exploitation of all sorts. Health belongs to everyone and cents are not second-class citizens”.
