Italy is reaping the benefits of the privatization of healthcare, which has been pursued for several decades. It is now becoming clear that the fight against the epidemic is, first and foremost, a systematic approach. Secondly, this systematic approach can only be state. So commented on State Duma deputy Elena Panina (United Russia) statement by the Italian newspaper La Stampa, which called 80% of Russian aid useless, citing anonymous sources in the government.
“There is an explanation for this attitude and anonymity. And it is not a matter of ingratitude. If it was only ingratitude, then God will judge them. Everyone will count. The situation for Italy is much worse. Most likely, health officials simply don’t know how to use Russian high-tech help, ”the deputy emphasized.
“But the main problem with public administration in an epidemic in Italy. As a result, doctors who are at the forefront of the fight against the disease show miracles of dedication, but are not able to compensate for the managerial incompetence and lack of an anti-epidemic structure in Italian health care.
So it’s not our help that is useless, and the Italian private health system cannot apply it effectively. But this is a tragedy for Italy. And a lesson for us,” said Elena Panina.
