(ANSA) – CATANZARO, 05 JAN – “We are used to seeing Calabria lagging behind in the national rankings: as regards, for example, work, health, infrastructure. We are in the regional government to reverse this trend. two months we work 24 hours a day to turn the page and start over. And we are already seeing the first results “. Thus the president of the Calabria Region, Roberto Occhiuto. “In the first four days of the year – he explains – we administered 68,646 doses, 21.23% more than the 56,625 set as a target. Behind us all the other Regions. At different positions the battleships Lombardia, Veneto, Emilia Romagna “.
“Certainly the problems of a complex territory like ours – continues Occhiuto – cannot be solved overnight with a magic wand. Calabria started late on vaccinations, continued slowly, struggled in the hottest months of the pandemic. My first intervention as governor was to keep all the vaccination centers in the region open, in a period in which the pandemic seemed to give us some respite and someone, mistakenly, was thinking of demobilization. Covid, even more so in a region like ours, with a dilapidated healthcare system and a fragile hospital network “. “On the vaccination campaign – he maintains – I insisted a lot: I involved all the provincial health authorities and all the hospitals, I asked the national commissioner for help, I used the mobile units for users with greater difficulties, I encouraged some small municipalities that they were very late, I encouraged general practitioners and pediatricians. The work done in recent months has produced an extraordinary result: Calabria in January is the first region in Italy for inoculations, compared to the targets indicated by General Figliuolo ” . “I thank those who have worked in recent weeks – concludes Occhiuto – to achieve this important goal.
We still have a lot to do, but this milestone tells us that wanting is power, and it tells better than anything else the change we dream of for Calabria. Go on like this “. (ANSA).
