(Adnkronos) - "Servono sicuramente delle riforme, ma serve soprattutto aver ben chiari gli obiettivi che vogliamo raggiungere. La sanità italiana oggi non è gratuita per nessuno, perché la paghiamo con le tasse, ma non è gratuita anche perché la maggior parte delle persone deve accedere a un sistema privato per poter avere delle prestazioni in tempo utile”. Così Annalisa Scopinaro, presidente di Uniamo - Federazione italiana malattie rare, a margine dell’evento organizzato nella Capitale da Salutequità per discutere dei più importanti temi legati all’accesso alla sanità e alla sua organizzazione.

00:00What are the reforms needed to achieve these goals?
00:04Reforms are certainly needed, but above all it is necessary to be very clear about the goals that we want to achieve,
00:10because Italian health care is not free today.
00:13It is not free for anyone because we pay for it with taxes,
00:16but it is not free because most people have to access a private system to be able to have useful performance in time.
00:23So the actions are certainly complex to implement,
00:28but we must try to direct spending where it is most needed
00:32and then try to get to prevention so as not to have to support a system that is increasingly complex and difficult to manage in terms of equity.
00:46We talked about waiting lists,
00:48so we must try to reduce these waiting lists so as not to make people wait.
00:53We must increasingly integrate this territorial health care,
00:58which would also help to decongest hospitals,
01:02through the involvement of the doctors of the territory.
01:05These are fundamental things to do if we want to try to dilute the problems that we have today.
01:12There are several aspects to consider.
01:14First of all, yes, the investment in health care increases,
01:17but unfortunately it also increases the average age of people
01:20and consequently all the performance necessary to keep them in good health also increases.
01:26More and more people are becoming impoverished,
01:29and this is another effect due to the fact that there is no work,
01:32there are no professional gaps sometimes,
01:36and consequently people have to make choices,
01:39and not always choices about health.
01:42We must therefore also try to change the narrative of both health and prevention,
01:48in order to understand how, on the other hand,
01:51we can give a prevalence to this so as not to find everyone in trouble in the coming years.
