“There is the
professional autonomy of the doctor
, which
cannot be affected
by other factors.
And the doctor always chooses in science and conscience and also responds to the legal system ": with these precise and firm words
Pierino Di Silverio
, secretary of
Anaao Assomed
, the main union of hospital doctors, comments on the words of Prime Minister
Meloni
who defined
The decision of the health authority
to disembark all migrants
from NGO ships, declaring them fragile on the basis of
possible risks of psychological problems, is
"
bizarre
" .
"I believe - the secretary of Anaao Assomed continued - that the doctor must operate in science and conscience according to the oath made (by Hippocrates,
ed
), because one must not approach healthcare and medicine with an ideological and political attitude but
only
with
a scientific attitude
.
I would therefore leave the decision on what to do with respect to the state of health of an individual to the doctor ”.
Finally, Di Silverio concluded, "I hope that this controversy will be over and that everyone will sit down as soon as possible to
solve the real and many health problems
in our country".
