This is the 2023 Citizen Health Report detail » Share: Health emergencies: “Citizens’ Health Report 2023” presented by Cittadinanzattiva. What citizens suffer in a state of health emergency. And five keys to try to get out of it.

The report, manifesto and initiatives to defend the NHS will be available once the pandemic emergency has passed.

This year, the report was published as part of a wider day entitled

Citizens find themselves more than ever before facing the consequences of unwise choices that have persisted for decades: waiting lists are long, emergency rooms are overcrowded, and there is a lack of general practitioners in many areas that simply have no definition: “health deserts”.

The use of private spending is increasing and is incompatible with the universalist system and is only possible if personal economic conditions allow. For many cities, waiting has turned into giving up.

These are the many health emergencies documented by Cittadinanzattiva in the 2023 Citizens’ Health Report, launched today at the Ministry of Health in Rome.

Other measures will also be taken at the local level in the coming days.

The “State of Health Emergency” is the first public moment of the permanent mobilization launched by Cittadinanzattiva to defend the National Health Service. After the report, from 2 pm, activists of the organization from many regions will take to the streets in front of the health departments to demonstrate the health emergency in their territory.

“As we announced in our report, the data presented in this report and the stories people have told campaigners across our region have inspired us as citizens to urgently declare a health emergency and to continue mobilising to defend our NHS.

1. Manifesto and petition for change,” said Anna Lisa Mandorino, secretary general of Cittadinanzattiva. “To overcome the health emergency, we ask for the reaffirmation of the five conditions, the five keys to access service public spaces.

National health: regular updating and continuous monitoring of the basic level of assistance, which must be guaranteed and applied to the entire national territory; elimination of waiting lists through investment in human and technical resources, better planning and transparency of the different channels, concrete commitments from all parties

Regions in the Local Waiting List Management Program

Recognize and implement the right to digital health to reduce bureaucracy, better communicate with professionals and access services remotely; Guarantee access to care and assistance for people with chronic and rare diseases, especially non-autonomous populations.

Funding a new law for non-autonomous older persons and restoring the regulatory process for the recognition of caregivers; implementing the territorial assistance reform envisaged by the PNRR, with the participation of local authorities and local professionals”.

The second edition of the Citizens’ Health Report integrates data from 14,272 citizen reports received by local offices and the Cittadinanzattiva PIT Salute service in 2022, as well as data from institutions, academic sources or studies.

• The aim is to show how citizens’ right to health is reflected in today’s complex system of health federalism.
• In addition to general problems with waiting lists and access to services (which account for nearly a third of reports that were never addressed, 29.6%), citizens also reported deficiencies in three areas of health, namely hospital care (15.8%), territorial (14.8%) and the area of ​​prevention (15.2%).

The fifth most important factor is nursing safety (8.5%).

1. The next reports concerned access to information and documentation (4.5%), social assistance (2.8%), personalization and relationships with health professionals (2.6%), high private expenditure and user fees (1.7%), and prosthetics and integrated intervention assistance (1.4%).
2. Most importantly, problems related to access to services (+5.8%) and problems related to hospital care (+4.4%) are increasing compared to 2021.

Emergency waiting lists and abandonment of treatment

Screening mammograms take two years, uterine cancer surgery takes one month to three months, an emergency visit to a gynecologist within 72 hours takes two months, and a heart attack exam takes two months to be scheduled within 10 days.

These are some examples of waiting times reported by citizens, who also complain about dysfunctional access and booking services, such as non-compliance with priority codes, difficulties in contacting cups, and inability to book due to clogged waiting lists.

Waiting times for first visits to specialists: Citizens who contact us for first visits to cardiology, endocrinology, oncology and pulmonology can expect to wait up to 60 days for a B-level short-term visit (performed within 10 days). Without a priority code, you could find yourself waiting 360 days for an endocrinology visit and 300 days for a cardiology visit.
