Recent developments concerning the hospital in Desenzano del Garda have raised concerns among members of the “Let’s Keep the Hospital on Montecroce” Committee. The committee has reported that the Assembly of Mayors, led by President Luisa Lavelli, is avoiding discussions regarding the construction of the new hospital, claiming that it is not within their purview to address issues related to the regional authorization for the healthcare facility. This refusal has been viewed by the committee as a abdication of their responsibility to protect public health, which is essential for local communities.
In response to this situation, the Committee has announced its intention to send a formal letter to the President of the Assembly, requesting the urgent convening of a meeting to obtain the necessary opinion on the project. They emphasize that, according to the current regulations, the Assembly must provide input on any significant intervention concerning the territorial healthcare organization. Furthermore, they are calling for a public assembly to ensure citizen participation in strategic decisions related to public health and social-health integration in the area.
