00:04 As the national president of FIADDA, the Italian Federation for the Rights of People, Money and Families,
00:12 I consider it very important to participate in this important edition, the WorldPIVE,
00:18 because the world of health, and in particular audiology,
00:23 therefore otolaryngologists, audiologists and phoniatrists,
00:28 each in their respective knowledge and skills, are of fundamental reference for the deaf people of all ages.
00:36 The particular interest is for children, for pre-verbal children, with pre-verbal deafness,
00:44 because there the intervention must be effective and tempestuous,
00:48 from the neonatal audiological screenings to the habilitative, logopedic, prosthetic and D interventions.
00:56 In each of these areas, we in Italy have problems.
01:00 With logopedics, for example, it is widespread the practice of having long queues to access these services,
01:07 and even in prosthetics and implantology there are problems.
01:11 The ideal would be to be able to constitute an observatory in the Ministry of Health,
01:18 which analyzes, does research, programs, and makes interventions to the entire national territory,
01:25 first to fill the big differences that exist between the real territories,
01:31 then to also link policies on health that are carried out in the different regions,
01:37 because, in equal terms, every citizen in Italy has a more or less problematic experience.
01:44 This link would be fundamental.
01:47 In this sense, the synergy that we have developed with the medical world is exceptional,
01:52 and in particular with the associations SIO and SIAF,
01:56 with whom we have been collaborating for a long time, also in a very effective way,
02:01 also in the programming and production of documents and elements of the ability to sensitize public opinion,
02:10 because it is not enough to sensitize the institution.
02:13 Many prejudices sometimes prevent the most coherent school, social and work inclusion of deaf people.
02:21 The big problem is then related to accessibility, which goes through subtitles in some situations,
02:30 and in any case has a more general character that concerns the entire population.
02:35 corporation.
