ROME (ITALPRESS) – Filippo Anelli has been reappointed to the presidency of Italian physicians. In fact, the three-day election that, from Friday to today in Rome, at the headquarters in Via Ferdinando di Savoia, saw the Presidents of the territorial Orders and those of the Boards of Dentists express their preferences for the renewal of the top management of Fnomceo, the National Federation of the Orders of Surgeons and Dentists, ended with his appointment as President.Vice President was confirmed Giovanni Leoni, Secretary Roberto Monaco, while the new Treasurer is Brunello Pollifrone, President Cao of Rome. All, as well as Anelli, were unanimously elected by the members of the new Central Committee.Record turnout: to vote, 105 bar presidents out of 106 and all 106 presidents of the Cao.En plein, for the medical members of the Central Committee, for the “Innovare la Professione” list, led by outgoing President Anelli, elected with 80 percent of the preferences. Instead, the race for the Dentists’ Register Commission ended 8 to 1, in favor of the “Unity and Change” list, headed by Andrea Senna, which also saw the outgoing president, Raffaele Iandolo, among the nine most voted.And it was Senna (Cao Milan president) who was unanimously elected president of the national Cao; vice-president Nicola Cavalcanti (Cao Bari president) , secretary Antonio Natale (Cao Siena president).”The Fnomceo, as well as the Orders that compose it,” said Anelli, “thanks to the nature of exponential subjects of professional bodies with a necessary membership, physicians and dentists, have contributed substantially to achieving high levels of health protection in our country, through the National Health Service or free profession. And it is precisely the National Health Service that is an extraordinary instrument of democracy, as it allows citizens to be able to obtain health protection, a fundamental right under the Constitution.” “If we ask citizens,” he continued, “what is the most critical emergency, the answer is health care, with waiting lists and the flight of professionals from the National Health Service, leading to a shortage of health care workers. On the other hand, physicians’ distress is exacerbated by the shortage of professionals, workloads and constant defunding. In this context, Minister Orazio Schillaci, M.D., should be thanked for his commitment to support the National Health Service and professionals, a commitment that must be supported and strengthened. “A new season is opening for Dentists,” said Andrea Senna, “in synergy with the medical component. We must all work together to achieve our program and evolve our professions.” Among the programmatic points of the new Central Committee, which will remain in office until 2028, is the adoption of the new Code of Medical Ethics, currently under review.
