adnkronos

(Adnkronos) - “Rafforzare le farmacie e dare una mano ai farmacisti può essere una risposta concreta di prossimità. Nel periodo Covid si è valorizzata figura del farmacista”. Lo ha detto Andrea Mandelli, presidente Fofi, Federazione ordini farmacisti italiani, in occasione dell’incontro ‘La Salute degli italiani tra tradizione, ripresa e resilienza’, uno degli appuntamenti del format ‘Principi attivi’, il ciclo di incontri promossi da Boehringer Ingelheim Italia per mettere sul tavolo le priorità irrimandabili della salute pubblica.

00:00How has the COVID-19 pandemic changed the way we work?

00:04I would say that the pandemic has clarified a context

00:08on which the federation has already been committed since 2005,

00:11that is, to strengthen the proximity

00:13to really think of a territorial assistance

00:17that can provide a response to patients.

00:19The bad experience of COVID-19 has certainly

00:22enhanced the figure of the pharmacist,

00:24who also thanks to the federal project of 2005

00:27has begun a path of evolution

00:29that could always make him the protagonist of the dispensation,

00:33but also the protagonist of a new phase,

00:35the one that we used to call the pharmacy of services

00:39or the polyfunctional center at the disposal of citizens,

00:42but which is now called proximity.

00:44So I think we can do a lot,

00:46but not in words, but with facts,

00:48with the numbers of electrocardiograms

00:50that we do every day,

00:52with the number of heart and blood pressure

00:54that we apply, with the number of tampons,

00:56with the number of vaccinations.

00:58In short, a pharmacist who is able,

01:00thanks to the cultural evolution of these years,

01:02to give something more to the Italian population.

01:05We have had an important involvement,

01:07I think great and also very interesting,

01:10which has involved the technological equipment

01:13of rural pharmacies,

01:15especially those more disadvantaged,

01:18the so-called subsidized.

01:20I believe that the economic equipment

01:24in that chapter would allow

01:26to involve not only subsidized pharmacies,

01:28but also rural pharmacies to cure.

01:31And therefore to really make sure

01:33that the Italy of the municipalities

01:35can give a service to the citizens

01:38that often, unfortunately,

01:40for the ever-lower numbers of sanitary

01:42at the disposal of citizens, often lack.

01:45So maybe reinforcing the pharmacies

01:48and giving a hand to the pharmacists

01:50could be a concrete response of proximity.
