There is no doubt that the needs of economic and financial which forced the company to the functional reorganization of the Health District have resulted in painful choices, but we also believe it is fair to ask first priority, and in this context, the Laboratory of Hospital Gaeta does not represent, in our view, one of the critical current and pressing challenges such as to justify the downgrading of a structure that, until now, to carry out with professionalism and value recognized the task assigned to him.

"The catchment area served by the laboratory of a Liegro serves a population that is not restricted to members of the municipality where the property is allocated, but also that of the entire area north of the district: the city of Itri, the Pontine Islands and the area of \u200b\u200bthe City of Formia on the sidelines with the City of Gaeta to an estimated audience of about 50 thousand people. A number expected to almost double during the peak season with an average of hundreds of samples daily. Moreover, the transfer of the district and clinics, the classification of the property Presidio Place Neighbourhood, the presence of the Department of Infectious Diseases, Departments of Medicine, Oncology, various Day Hospital and Day Surgery and also the closure of the only private practice existing in the city are more than valid reasons to justify the maintenance of the Laboratory with its current levels of performance as the services mentioned they need a structure of this type, efficient and fast-sampling continues in the two unions - the Laboratory Analysis of Gaeta plays an essential service, especially for health professionals and for users, a service that is absolutely not replaceable with so-called POCT, whose reliability is more than a doubt. "
"Losing to date in our town also laboratory analysis, or at least just share his downgrade, would be an extremely difficult transition from to accept local communities, even more difficult to explain as only justifiable in view of spending restraint. A difficult aspect to understand by those who feel, rightly or wrongly, already "dispossessed" of their own hospital - said the Department of Health David Vecchiariello, adding - On the sidelines of the meeting with the mayor Agresti, was reiterated the clear desire to continue on a wider cooperation concerning other issues involving the two municipalities, such as trade, tourism, roads, as well as health, in a context of synergies between the two administrations.
