Monday saw a fresh case of a
patient treated on the floor because of a lack of stretchers in
a Campania hospital. After two cases in Nola last month, this
time a woman in a wheelchair fainted and was revived on the
floor in Naples' S.Giovanni Bosco Hospital, Green regional
councillor Emilio Borrelli told reporters. "The new stretchers
have been blocked for three months at the frontier with
Croatia," he said. "In November the hospital management
requested the purchase of 20 stretchers and 10 wheelchairs for
the ER, but the goods have been inexplicably blocked at Italy's
frontier with Croatia".
