Menaggio Hospital at Risk: “Save Acute Care Departments”
The Menaggio Hospital, a vital health institution in the Lake Como area, faces significant challenges. Local mayors have expressed growing concerns in light of the recent announcement from the Azienda Socio Sanitaria Territoriale (Asst). The Asst revealed difficulties in finding adequate numbers of doctors and nurses, putting the future of the hospital’s acute care departments in jeopardy.
This news is especially worrisome for residents, expats, and visitors who rely on Menaggio Hospital for urgent medical needs. The potential downsizing of acute care services could lead to increased travel times and strain on other medical facilities in the region.
The mayors are calling for immediate action to prevent any reduction in services, emphasizing the hospital’s critical role in ensuring public health in this picturesque yet remote area. This development might affect both long-term residents and tourists who count on accessible and efficient healthcare during their stay in Lake Como.
