32,500 fewer hospital beds in 2 years

(ANSA) - ROME, APR 18 - Between 2020 and 2022, 32,500 beds were cut in Italian hospitals, according to figures released Thursday.
    And between 2019 and 2022, more than 11,000 doctors left public health facilities, according to a report from the 75 scientific societies of hospital and university clinicians (FoSSC).
    The number of hospitals is also decreasing: in 10 years, 95 have been closed (9%).
    And resources are less and less: in 2024, the financing of the government's Health Fund increased in absolute terms compared to 2021 but decreased in relation to GDP and is being eroded by inflation.
    FoSSC asked the government for a "major structural reform and urgent measures to save the NHS.
    It said "treatment for all is at risk". (ANSA).
