Healthcare, Emiliano warns: “The extra two billion is not enough”

The two billion more announced by Prime Minister Meloni for health “absolutely not enough”: awarns the president of the Puglia Region Michele Emiliano, “because every year, for the simple fact that costs increase, 2 billion more are used to fear health care at the same level as the previous year, but given that this year there is very high inflation and they have increased a lot energy costs, substantially there is a decrease in the effective financing of the Italian health system and it is good that the government says this clearly”. If they haven’t found a way to better fund the healthcare system – despite the experience of the pandemic, despite the fact that we have to recover waiting lists and all the diseases that went undiagnosed during the pandemic – this needs to be made clear. It cannot be said that we are increasing by 2 billion, because the increase is less than the inflation differential that is being created», affirmed Emiliano on the sidelines of the Conference of the Regions.
