(Adnkronos) - "Attualmente il nostro sistema sanitario si tiene in piedi se riusciamo a far diagnosticare le patologie prima che divengano conclamate. Migliorare la prevenzione vuol dire non ospedalizzare, non giungere alla fase sintomatica, e questo si riflette positivamente anche sulla sostenibilità della spesa pubblica destinata alla sanità”. Queste le parole di Marcello Gemmato, Sottosegretario di Stato al ministero della Salute, nel corso della presentazione, a Roma, dei risultati di ‘Care for Caring – Ambasciatrici della Prevenzione’ campagna di sensibilizzazione sull’importanza della prevenzione del tumore al seno, rivolta alle donne in forza alla Polizia di Stato.

00:00Today, and this initiative in particular, is very important, if we want, in keeping with what the Ministry of Health is already doing in terms of diagnosing and taking care of patients affected by oncological pathologies.
00:24Today, what is the issue? On the one hand, an 88% resolution of the problem in the 5 years of mammary tumor diagnosis, but looking at the half-empty glass, 12% of women, who unfortunately die in the next 5 years of diagnosis, and who are probably those women who have not diagnosed the pathology in time.
00:51Initiatives like these put the importance of prevention at the center, they put at the center the importance of having to carry out cadenced and annual diagnoses, depending, of course, on the age you have, and above all, to strongly relaunch the theme of prevention in general.
01:15Today we have a national health system that stands up if we are able to diagnose and therefore not conclaim pathologies, and therefore treat Italians better, but as a direct collateral effect, treating them better, not conclaiming symptoms, therefore not hospitalizing, and therefore we do not spend the national public health system, and therefore we make it sustainable.
01:42In a population that is aging, we are second only to Japan in longevity, and therefore the importance of prevention is that, I repeat, of care, but also of sustainability of our system.
