00:00In this issue, Università Campus Biomedico di Roma inaugurated the first Simulation Center
00:16with a multi-sensory immersive room in Europe.
00:19In Naples, the 78th SIARTI Congress, an opportunity to compare the future challenges of the category.
00:26At Extra G7, highlights on brain health.
00:30Presented in Rome the book
00:31The History of Medicine and Odontology by Michele Covelli.
00:36And again, SIU Congress, cutting-edge technology but important to invest in neurological prevention.
00:43In Milan, the meeting dedicated to integrative oncology.
00:46At the center, the role of homeopathy.
00:49Italy Longeva underlines the importance of vaccination prevention in over 65s against respiratory pathologies.
00:57New therapeutic frontiers for immunodepressed patients at the center of the Simit-Campania Regional Congress.
01:04Launched at the House of Representatives on the 44th month of dental prevention.
01:09To conclude, the special Salus TV from the title
01:12The Italian Society of Internal Medicine turns 135 years old, but future at risk.
01:20The new Simulation Center of the Università Campus Biomedico di Roma
01:26was inaugurated by the Minister of Business of Made in Italy, Adolfo Urso,
01:30during the opening of the academic year 2024-2025.
01:35The unique structure in the center of southern Italy
01:38hosts the first multi-sensory immersive room in Europe,
01:42designed entirely in Italy, which simulates clinical and emergency situations
01:47through visual, olfactory and physical effects,
01:50to offer an avant-garde training to students and researchers.
01:55The Simulation Center is a fundamental tool that today a modern university must have
01:59to carry out an increasingly experiential, innovative and research-based teaching,
02:04emphasized Professor Eugenio Guglielmelli, Dean of the Campus.
02:09It is a fundamental day to continue to invest in the growth of our Ateneo,
02:14these themes of innovative teaching based on research.
02:17So having a space now in our Simulation Center is essential
02:23because all these even more innovative solutions for advanced therapies
02:29and also in long-term medicine, we also simulate environments,
02:32not only in hospitals, but also for possible assistance at home,
02:36for longevity, health and long-term,
02:39will really be a fundamental lever to direct in the right way
02:43also the application of innovative solutions together with young researchers
02:48and all our research groups.
02:50The ceremony saw the participation of the President of the National Research Council,
02:55Maria Chiara Carrozza, who held a Lectio Magistralis,
02:58and the President of the Lazio Region, Francesco Rocca.
03:01The Simulation Center, with its more than 400 square meters of space,
03:05is designed to promote research and innovation in the health and sustainability sectors.
03:11The investments of many multinationals made in these months in Italy,
03:17in the field of life sciences, biotechnologies and pharmaceuticals,
03:21make us understand how we are at the forefront
03:24and we have an ecosystem that is extremely favorable
03:28to the development of what is really needed by man
03:31to improve his quality of life.
03:33In the first nine months of this year,
03:36we have also made over 9 billion investments in microelectronics,
03:41on what is then the chip, the semiconductor,
03:44what is at the center of green technology and digital technology,
03:48because we know how to think about the future, perhaps more than others.
03:51The Center will offer the students the opportunity to conduct advanced simulations
03:57in realistic clinical scenarios.
03:59The spaces reproduce, in fact, hospital and domestic environments,
04:03equipped with cutting-edge technologies, interactive mannequins
04:06and a simulated operating room to train doctors, nurses and researchers.
04:11The structures of the Simulation Center will also be available for companies
04:16and research centers for the development of new medical and technological devices,
04:21once again strengthening the role of the Campus Biomedical University
04:25as a hub of innovation and research.
04:33We can only be satisfied, we knew that the Society has grown a lot
04:39and today we have had confirmation of this.
04:41Important numbers for the 78th National Congress of Italian Society of Anesthesia,
04:47Analgesia and Intensive Therapy Reanimation, SIARTI,
04:51the most important annual meeting for Italian anesthetists and reanimators
04:55that in Naples for three days have discussed,
04:57confronting each other on the challenges of the future,
04:59and clinical and scientific innovations.
05:05130 scientific sessions, 72 exhibitors, an area of 60 square meters
05:09dedicated to the training of participants,
05:11a unique opportunity for professional update and growth,
05:15which today looks with interest at new technologies,
05:17from artificial intelligence to devices wearable to telemedicine,
05:21which are transforming the practice of medicine in Italy.
05:25We anesthetists and reanimators, both clinically and as research,
05:29we are pioneers in the use of new technologies,
05:33up to artificial intelligence, applying it in operating medicine,
05:37in intensive therapy, in reanimation, in the field of emergency.
05:41A profession that looks to the future,
05:43but in the wake of good clinical practices and the work so far undertaken.
05:47President Giarratano leaves us an absolutely healthy company,
05:51with many projects and we are very happy to carry out these projects,
05:57with innovations of course.
05:59Commitments also taken by the elected president for the Biennial 2028-2030.
06:04SIARTI is now, as it has been said here in Naples,
06:07the most important annual meeting for Italian anesthetists and reanimators,
06:12we must try to make them understand
06:15what is the importance of the role of anesthetists and reanimators
06:19in our health service,
06:21and then we will continue on the work of training and research,
06:25because SIARTI is a scientific society,
06:28and therefore we must certainly work together,
06:31and we will continue to work together,
06:34and we will continue to work together.
06:37And at the Court Theatre of the Royal Palace of Naples,
06:40SIARTI celebrated its 90 years of activity,
06:43an opportunity to make the point on the achievements
06:46and debate with the present institutions.
06:49We ask the institutions, we also asked the Minister of Research,
06:52to listen to our proposals,
06:55which are technical, which are very important,
06:58and which are very important,
07:00which are very important,
07:02which are very important,
07:04and to listen to our proposals, which are technical,
07:07which aim at good clinical practice,
07:10which do not aim to prioritize one discipline or category over another,
07:13and which are developed in the interest of public health.
07:17The celebratory moment has not only honored past successes,
07:20but also projected participants towards a future rich in opportunities.
07:25Give priority to the health of the brain,
07:28a global imperative for public health,
07:31is the title of the event organized at Extra G7 Salute
07:34by the European Academy of Neurology,
07:37the academy that brings together about 45,000 European neurologists,
07:40in collaboration with SIN,
07:43the Italian Society of Neurology,
07:46and with the Italian Strategy for the Health of the Brain,
07:49In the course of the meeting, national and international experts
07:52responsible for the policies and associations of patients
07:55have in fact discussed innovative approaches,
07:58shared the best practices,
08:01and outlined strategic frameworks to integrate the health of the brain
08:04into public health policies.
08:07The European Community has recently established
08:10to make the health of the brain its own priority,
08:13and has invited the Italian Society of Neurology
08:16to participate.
08:19Numerous funds are planned for research bands,
08:22and there is no doubt that the world of health
08:25and the world of research
08:28will somehow be able to find an alliance
08:31to make our country an avant-garde country.
08:34According to the data of the World Health Organization,
08:37there are more than one billion people in the world
08:40who suffer from brain cancer.
08:43From Alzheimer's disease to Parkinson's disease,
08:46from cerebral ictus to multiple sclerosis,
08:49from epilepsy to neuromuscular diseases,
08:52up to hemicrania and sleep disorders,
08:55not to mention the more than 1,400 genetic and rare diseases.
08:58All neurological pathologies that in their entire
09:01between 1990 and 2021
09:04were the main cause of disability
09:07and the second cause of global death,
09:10with 9 million deaths a year.
09:13Pathologies that, as evidenced by the President of the SIN,
09:16have a particular relevance also in Italy,
09:19where it is estimated that there are 32 million people
09:22who complain of a symptom or neurological disorder every year.
09:25What has been done globally
09:28to try to prevent all these deaths
09:31and ensure good brain health?
09:34First of all, the World Health Organization
09:37launched a manifesto two years ago
09:40around the world to address
09:43brain diseases and brain health,
09:46also defining new criteria for what
09:49is meant by health.
09:52There is no doubt that together with the World Health Organization,
09:55Neurology, the World Society, the European Society,
09:58but also the Italian Society that I represent here,
10:01has decided to fully implement this manifesto
10:04and to start working also in our country.
10:07And what is done in Italy for brain health?
10:10We have built a platform called
10:13the Italian Brain Health Strategy,
10:16we have involved numerous scientific societies,
10:19we have involved orders of psychologists,
10:22orders of doctors,
10:25orders of pharmacists,
10:28we have involved associations of the main neurological conditions,
10:31such as rare diseases,
10:34but also multiple sclerosis, dementia, among others.
10:37We have tried to define some objectives
10:40and among these objectives
10:43we have obviously included
10:46information, training of operators,
10:49education and also, in some way,
10:52investments in research.
10:55We have coined a slogan, One Brain, One Health,
10:58to underline how even the brain does not provide for differences
11:01and that psychologists, psychiatrists,
11:04children's neuropsychiatrists, geriatrists,
11:07internal medicine practitioners,
11:10but also, as recently underlined,
11:13oculists, otolaryngologists, odontologists
11:16participate in a process that must ensure
11:19the health of the brain.
11:22Also for this, for a greater reason,
11:25the European Capital for Brain Health has been established.
11:28The perception, the sensitivity and the awareness
11:31that we all have to work together
11:34for the health of the brain is growing.
11:45Representing a practical and effective synthesis
11:48of the history of medicine and odontology
11:51is the goal of the book
11:54Medicine and Odontology, curated by Michele Covelli,
11:57a professor at the LUM University, Giuseppe De Gennaro,
12:00presented in Rome at the Nasseri Hall
12:03of the Senate of the Republic.
12:06The text has no presumption of being a substitute
12:09for medical books, but it wants to be a laborious instrument
12:12that accompanies not only students,
12:15but also anyone who has an interest in the knowledge of the matter.
12:18The most complicated and complex part
12:21of the book is to create a synthesis,
12:24a synthesis of the most important concepts
12:27and of the concepts that can attract and catalyze
12:30the student's attention, and not only that.
12:33So, from Ancient Egypt, because it was the first historical people
12:36where they already had the first medical specializations,
12:39up to the present times,
12:42it is a text that can be easily opened
12:45even to non-workers.
12:48To make it legible, the student must have
12:51a perception of knowledge and understand
12:54what were the rising periods.
12:57So, I must say that what I was able to perceive,
13:00also because we started just yesterday
13:03the lessons on the history of medicine,
13:06they appreciated a lot the understanding, in summary,
13:09the rising points of what was the first approach of medicine.
13:12To deal with the scientific method
13:15born in the universities, the future challenges
13:18of the improvement of the skills required in the medical profession
13:21it is essential to start from the history of medicine.
13:24I think that on this we continue
13:27with our goal, with the development
13:30of the degree course in odontology and dental prosthesis
13:33that we recently started,
13:36with all the activities in terms of the health professions
13:39that we are carrying out, precisely in order to think
13:42about a connection between research,
13:45the world of enterprises
13:48and health institutions
13:51and also the capacity to involve
13:54more and more in a massive way
13:57the activities of scientific dissemination
14:00in relation to the progress.
14:03So, today's goal is this, to think in a very open way
14:06what are the changes in action
14:09starting from the history and looking at the future.
14:12Senator Filippo Melchiorre opened the work
14:15that highlighted the importance of the medical profession
14:18and the attention placed by the current government
14:21towards the health professions.
14:24The government has done many things.
14:27For example, in September it issued a decree
14:30that punishes those who commit aggression,
14:33those who damage health and social structures.
14:36The government has given more resources to the regions.
14:39In fact, some regions often do not have
14:42adequate organizational models
14:45and therefore everything that happens
14:48unfortunately does not depend on the central government
14:51but depends on how the resources are used.
14:54Today, through the presentation of this text
14:57that can be used both by aspiring doctors
15:00and by doctors to regenerate
15:04their principles,
15:07what is concerned with the attention of doctors,
15:10we are talking about it to build
15:13the last of the blocks in this mosaic
15:16of the centrality of the doctor,
15:19but also of the patient, of the person.
15:25From the pathologies of the prostate to prevention for the youngest
15:28the 97th National Congress of the Italian Society
15:32of Urology has 18 roundtables, 16 courses,
15:353 sessions of live surgery for 1 to 3 days
15:38dedicated to scientific deepening.
15:41The National Congress of the ICU is the opportunity
15:44to discuss the most recent innovations in the field of urology
15:47from the treatment of tumors to the functional problems
15:50from the approach to urinary tract to transplants.
15:53The Deputy Secretary of Health, Marcello Gemmato,
15:56among the guests of the inaugural evening presented by the actor Max Giusti,
16:00It is important today to reverse that proportion,
16:03to mitigate that proportion that we see spending
16:0695% for the cure and only 5% for prevention.
16:10During the days of the conference
16:13we also touched on the issue of re-conducting denaturalization
16:16not only to social causes but also a lower access to prevention
16:19for the youngest, as explained by President Sio Giuseppe Carrieri.
16:22Preventing is better than curing, as always,
16:25and in the field of infertility
16:28a periodic visit, around 18 years,
16:31for our boys is useful
16:34precisely in order to verify that there are not in action
16:37those conditions, those pathologies that can lead
16:40to a decrease in fertility.
16:43At the appointment, several delegations also from abroad,
16:46in particular, taking advantage of the role of VARI, which leads to the East,
16:49has chosen to dedicate this edition to the confrontation with the Balkans.
16:52We have this role to start this further collaboration
16:56which means internationalization,
16:59so the possibility of opening up to discussion on wider platforms
17:02and with all the countries that surround us.
17:10Milan hosted the meeting Oncology Integrative
17:13the role of homeopathy dedicated to the deepening
17:16of the role of homeopathic medicine in the framework of
17:19integrative oncology as a support for conventional therapies.
17:22In fact, there are numerous scientific studies
17:25that have evaluated the positive role of homeopathy
17:28in the support of the oncological patient.
17:31We can remember the work carried out by Professor Bagoe
17:34and his team of doctors in Strasbourg,
17:37a multicentric observational study
17:40which has evaluated the effect of homeopathic medicine
17:43regarding the reduction
17:46of side effects
17:49due to the oncological treatment
17:52and has also evaluated and recorded
17:55a satisfaction of the oncological patient
17:58regarding the receiving of homeopathic therapy
18:01in support of the oncological treatment.
18:04Another important scientific evidence
18:07to report more recently
18:10is the one that has involved
18:1398,000 women patients
18:16with non-metastatic breast cancer
18:19who had to undergo mastectomy.
18:22This happened in France
18:25and from the results of this study
18:28emerged that there was an important reduction
18:31of the medicines
18:34that patients usually used
18:37to combat the side effects of the oncological therapy
18:40when they took homeopathic therapy
18:43to combat these side effects.
18:46The side effect of homeopathic therapy
18:49to the care of oncological patients
18:52is a reality already in several Italian hospitals
18:55as explained by the head of the regional center
18:58for integrated medicine of the Tuscan region.
19:01The region is now more than 10 years old
19:04that has allowed and various structures
19:07have been born that offer complementary medicine
19:10including homeopathy
19:13in 19 hospitals of the Tuscan region.
19:16These are support therapies
19:19so they do not interfere
19:22with the work of oncologists
19:25but they support the work of oncologists
19:28in reducing adverse effects
19:31and improving the quality of life of patients
19:34which helps patients
19:37to keep the time of therapy
19:40and use the prescribed doses
19:43and not reduce them due to adverse effects.
19:46Research also shows that homeopathy
19:49favors the therapeutic adherence of the oncological patient.
19:52Homeopathy is certainly
19:55a very supportive approach
19:58and it is useful for the oncological patient
20:01to support it in the side effects of therapies
20:04such as radiotherapy and post-surgery interventions.
20:07It does not cure cancer but it is of great relevance
20:10to make sure that the patient
20:13can better support the therapies he is doing
20:16to adhere better to the therapy
20:19and therefore have an effect even better than the therapy itself.
20:26In the last decades the life expectancy
20:29in our country has increased
20:33to be not only long-lived but also healthy
20:36in addition to following a healthy and active lifestyle
20:39and a correct diet, prevention is essential
20:42and therefore screenings and vaccinations.
20:45We must put prevention at the center of our attention
20:48and in particular primary prevention
20:51focusing on healthy lifestyles
20:54which means equipping our society
20:57with healthy lifestyles.
21:00If we say that physical activity is important
21:03then we must give people the opportunity
21:06to do physical activity
21:09but within the healthy lifestyles
21:12we must also put the health calendar
21:15we want to call it the calendar of immunization,
21:18the vaccination calendar, not only but also the calendar
21:21of my screenings, that is to point out in my life
21:24the most important things.
21:27In the elderly population there are respiratory diseases
21:30such as influenza, covid, pneumonia, pneumococcus
21:33and syncytial respiratory virus, all preventable
21:36thanks to vaccination.
21:39Of these diseases only influenza reaches decent levels
21:42of coverage with a percentage higher than 50%
21:45on the other hand we must work
21:48convincing the population, involving family doctors
21:51and also involving other structures
21:54such as hospitals and pharmacies
21:57that can help to increase this coverage
22:00that leads to an improvement
22:03of the health of the elderly population.
22:06To highlight the importance of expanding the audience
22:09of the over 65s protected by these vaccinations
22:12Italia Longeva organized in Rome the Convention
22:15on the Prioritization of Vaccine Prevention
22:18against Respiratory Pathologies in the Elderly and the Fragile
22:21in which strategies have also been proposed
22:24to fight the so-called vaccine laziness.
22:27We must fight it with campaigns,
22:30with many videos and many messages
22:33that affect people
22:36telling them that if they want to go
22:39towards old age and go towards
22:42a quality old age, they must get vaccinated.
22:45The challenges of the immune-depressed subject
22:48and the infectious diseases have given us great satisfaction
22:51in recent years.
22:54I belong to a generation of lucky infectologists
22:57that aims to eradicate hepatitis C
23:00that cures hepatitis B and above all
23:03that has managed to make HIV a chronic disease
23:06with a series of treatments always in development
23:09that also improve the quality of life of these patients
23:12as well as their survival.
23:15These are encouraging data, those regarding
23:18innovative treatments for immunodepressed patients
23:21emerged from the regional congress Simit-Campania
23:24which took place in Naples, an opportunity to compare
23:27scientific updates on new immunological therapies
23:30against different pathologies, with a focus on new antiviral
23:33drugs for HIV patients. In Campania, the number of new cases
23:36remains stable, but the diagnoses are increasingly
23:39linked to advanced infections, hence the importance of screening
23:42that allows to identify the virus in the initial phase
23:45improving the possibility of effective treatments and interrupting
23:48the transmission chain. Today, research offers
23:51treatments such as antiretroviral therapy
23:54a promising option in HIV management
23:57with significant advantages for the quality of life of patients
24:00because it reduces the number of necessary supplies
24:03improving access to treatment.
24:06This is a fundamental thing in our field
24:09as well as the de-stigmatizing aspect of a therapy
24:12that is not brought home, the patient does not have to bring
24:15the boxes with him, he has to take them at certain times
24:18it is very important, this has also been emphasized
24:21by both the patient associations and the patients themselves.
24:24Currently, the Campania region is waiting to concentrate
24:27the management of HIV patients within the hospital structures
24:30complicating access to more modern therapeutic options
24:33such as long-acting therapy, which can only be performed
24:36in ambulatory structures, but to obtain the exemption of the drug
24:39it is necessary to overcome regulatory obstacles.
24:42The Campania region is the only one of the few that remains
24:45still with a management of patients who live with HIV
24:48in hospitals. If they are managed in hospitals
24:51they cannot obtain this drug.
24:54The problem is that now we must
24:57in some way generate
25:00a transition from hospital management
25:03to ambulatory management
25:06that theoretically could already happen.
25:09What is the obstacle in this moment?
25:12That we must guarantee the privacy of the patients
25:15because a patient who does not see the privacy protected
25:18is a patient who flees, does not heal, prefers to give up therapy.
25:21Or goes out.
25:31The 44th month of dental prevention has begun
25:34the longest initiative in Italy in the field of oral hygiene
25:37which has allowed, in the last 44 years
25:40over a million families to verify the state of health of their mouth.
25:43An initiative that was launched with a press conference
25:46held at the Chamber of Deputies
25:49which saw the participation of the institutions
25:52of the Italian Dental Association of MENTADENT
25:55and, news for this year, of the Italian Federation of Pediatric Doctors.
25:59The goal of the month of dental prevention
26:02remains to bring people to the pediatrician with confidence.
26:05There are more than 10,000 volunteers,
26:08dentists who together invite
26:11to oral prevention practice
26:14at a pediatric study.
26:17And they try to discard a preconception
26:20that in Italy only one out of two people
26:23goes regularly to a pediatric study
26:27It's been 44 years that ANDI and MENTADENT
26:30have been developing the prevention
26:33and it is a very important initiative
26:36that this year has been enriched with the collaboration
26:39with the Italian Federation of Pediatric Doctors.
26:42It is a fundamental collaboration because this means
26:45that we are able to reach all Italian families
26:48from the youngest age of the children
26:51and teach them prevention methods
26:54The participation of the FIM has allowed
26:57the organizers of the month of prevention
27:00to highlight how important it is to focus
27:03the attention on the oral health of the youngest.
27:06For this reason, during the appointment,
27:09the first manifesto for the oral health of children
27:12was held, which aims to sensitize families
27:15on the importance of dental prevention
27:18through 10 simple rules to follow.
27:21It will be fundamental for the continuation
27:24because it embodies the will of the family pediatrician
27:27to do prevention all around
27:30and in our DNA prevention is the first movement
27:33that leads us to strengthen every day
27:36that relationship with families
27:39that is at the basis of the relationship of care.
27:42Since this year, the online test
27:45How to Grow Your Smile has been available
27:48It is a useful tool that allows to obtain
27:51a scientifically valid feedback on what is necessary
27:54to improve the oral hygiene of the youngest.
27:57How to Grow Your Smile is an important tool
28:00of oral prevention. It is a tool
28:03within the month of prevention that allows people
28:06to self-evaluate the general habits
28:09of parents towards their children
28:12and therefore what could be the importance
28:16It is a test that already last year
28:19in the version for adults has collected
28:22over 200,000 visits with significant increases
28:25of what is the concern and the awareness
28:28of the importance of the general habits.
28:34The Italian Society of Internal Medicine is 135 years old.
28:37An important anniversary, however, is increasingly at risk
28:40by the significant problems that dentists
28:43have today to face, to demonstrate
28:46the specialties not assigned and pensioners
28:49that are no longer replaced, as well as the frustration
28:52for increasingly undignified working conditions
28:55and the fear for the escalation of violence
28:58in the hospital corridors. If it goes on like this,
29:01there will be no more specialists to cover the assistance
29:04in the departments of internal medicine and emergency services
29:07and it will be a catastrophe because the departments
29:10of the Italian Society of Internal Medicine
29:13will no longer be able to provide
29:16the assistance they need.
29:19The Italian Society of Internal Medicine is the first
29:22to be founded in 1887, so it has very deep roots.
29:25It is a society projected in the future.
29:28In fact, we have reached, among other things,
29:31in the last three years 4790 registered
29:34so a very consistent number
29:37of which 70% of other 40,
29:40so it is a highly prioritized society in the future.
29:43Its scientific production is also remarkable.
29:46The Italian Society of Internal Medicine occupies
29:49the fourth place in the international rankings
29:52for the quality of research activities,
29:55for the citation of the articles.
29:58We are ahead of countries like Germany, Japan or France
30:01that invest much more money and public and private funding
30:04and the Italian Society of Internal Medicine
30:07makes an extraordinary contribution.
30:10We are able to support research
30:13by financing awards to individual researchers
30:16for their career activities
30:19and by financing the Triennium Dolcigrent
30:22which serves as a financing for research activities.
30:25An essential figure, then, if we consider, as Sesti underlines,
30:28that a hospital cannot be opened without a department of internal medicine.
30:32The internist is the one who welcomes the person,
30:35whether he comes in an ambulatory
30:38and is therefore an external patient,
30:41whether he comes ready to help and is then recovered.
30:44Unfortunately, in the face of this vocation and the need
30:47to have more and more qualified and trained staff,
30:50we have a chronic shortage
30:53due to the cuts and the fact that the turnover
30:56of colleagues who have retired has not been renewed.
31:00We therefore have a great shortage of doctors and internists
31:03in hospitals and of the necessary health personnel,
31:06that is, nurses and social workers,
31:09weakening the system in some way.
31:12Among other things, it is aggravated by a greater number of outflows,
31:15which gives a greater load of performance to be solved
31:18and a greater load of shifts.
31:21Many of the internists even retire early
31:24in the event of the so-called burnout,
31:28that is, the overload of work, the massacring shifts
31:31and the impossibility of having a normal life
31:34because the activity for our patients is voted 24 hours out of 24,
31:377 days out of 7.
31:40What would you like to be done to facilitate the work
31:43in the public health service?
31:46We ask that there be a lifting,
31:49an update of our national health policy,
31:52which is now dated.
31:55We ask not only to increase the number of internists
31:58but also to consider the departments of internal medicine
32:01as a department of intermediate intensity.
32:04We therefore ask for dignity and the fact of allowing us
32:07to work better for diseases that are more and more complex
32:10and more difficult to manage.
32:13As the chronicles unfortunately tell,
32:16the number of acts of violence against the health personnel is growing
32:19and this especially in the emergency services,
32:22the main cause, explains the vice-president of Simi,
32:25Gerardo Mancuso, would be the lack of correspondence
32:28in the citizen with his expectations of intervention.
32:31Today we have a very high registration of cases,
32:34there were 16,000 cases in just 2023
32:37and two out of three are women
32:40who are assaulted
32:43and the aggressors
32:46are almost always the patients
32:49who arrive at the emergency room
32:52but some of them should not
32:55arrive at the emergency room
32:58so they are patients who are looking for answers
33:01regarding intercourse pathologies,
33:04a fever that should be intercepted
33:07by the family doctor.
33:10Aggressions against Mancuso are not only verbal
33:13but in 20% of cases also physical
33:17These data made it possible
33:20to pass a law
33:23in the month of September
33:26this law provides
33:29a double channel of intervention
33:32in the meantime correcting
33:35or improving the norms of civil procedure
33:38that provide immediate arrest
33:41or injury of the person
33:44who commits these acts of violence
33:47and then also of criminal type
33:50that are up to prison
33:53and a fine up to 10,000 euros
33:56these sanctions can be increased
33:59so they are improvements
34:02they are corrections
34:05compared to this phenomenon
34:08but I think they are not enough
34:11because they are still
34:14repressive activities
34:17we must also go against
34:20the prevention activities of these phenomena
34:23and therefore improve the system
34:26in the periphery
