Cristina Cenci has chosen to become a doctor to be close to people, out of a strong passion for learning every day. Today it is still like this but what has changed is the way of working in the hospital. Made of grueling shifts, so it is now normal to work more than 50 hours a week, do 7-8 nights a month and not go on vacation. All this was exacerbated by Covid but the situation of the National Health System was already critical from a long time before. “Working in these conditions means not being able to follow patients well and this is not acceptable for a doctor”.
In addition to being a doctor, Cristina is part of the CIMO-FESMED medical union that recently launched the campaign “Doctors without a future, a future without doctors”, to focus on the working conditions of doctors today. Shortage of staff, 2,500 assaults and 35 thousand
disputes that occur in healthcare every year, considered inevitable side effects of the profession, the cutting of complex and simple structures, which prevents 84% ​​of doctors from making a career, the continuous task shifting and the creation of new management figures to the detriment of doctors, the increasingly oppressive control of the Directorates.
“We are asking for an extraordinary recruitment plan,” explains the president of the CIMO-FESMED Federation Guido Quici. “It is important to renew employment contracts and make them really payable with penalties for non-compliant companies, to recreate a more serene atmosphere in the ward, to reform hospitals so as to allow doctors to participate in the clinical governance of activities, to guarantee real career opportunities “.
These are just some of the main problems highlighted by the latest report from the CIMO-FESMED doctors’ union. To all this are added the salaries that are among the lowest in Europe, with 98% of the companies continuing to apply the 2006-2009 collective bargaining agreement. “The institutions must listen to us”, emphasizes Cristina Cenci. “What’s the future of a country without doctors?”
