Vicenza, September 18 (askanews) – Motore Sanità's 13th Summer School, titled "Glo-cal Health. Innovation from the Global World to Local Realities," has concluded. The school brought together institutions, experts, and professionals to address the challenge of transforming major global healthcare innovations, such as new therapies, technologies, and organizational models, into concrete, safe, and equitable care for all communities, with a particular focus on mountainous and vulnerable areas.
An interview with Chiara Luisetto, Regional Councilor of Veneto: "Over these three days, we've reflected on how healthcare is both a global and local issue. The Veneto Region's commitment is aimed at coordinated planning focused on local needs, capable of translating policies at the local level to be ever closer to citizens." Ignazio Zullo, Member of the Senate of the Republic, commented: "The outcome is positive because it brought together the various players in healthcare: those who experience it on a political level, those who work professionally, and the stakeholders who support it every day.
It is a positive outcome also because it makes us aware of a great need: we must not stop at the issue of funding for the National Health Fund, but focus on reorganizing the Health Service. Only in this way will we be able to truly respond effectively to the needs of an aging population, experiencing a declining birth rate, and increasingly affected by chronic and degenerative diseases. At the heart of the discussion are the sustainability and resilience of the National Health Service, the importance of prevention and vaccinations, the management of chronic conditions, and access to innovative drugs and advanced therapies such as CAR-T thanks to efficient clinical networks and proximity models such as telemedicine and service pharmacies. In the words of Beatrice Lorenzin, Member of the Senate of the Republic: "This is a crucial moment for reflection on the needs of the National Health Service.
We all agree on the need for new impetus and a new era, with more resources and targeted reforms. We must start with the workforce, making healthcare professions attractive again to curb the brain drain and guarantee essential levels of care. The goal is to ensure equal access to services across the country and create a modern, digital, and interoperable system capable of leveraging data for healthcare organization without ever losing sight of the humanity of care. The Motore Sanità Summer School in Gallio has charted a clear course: to guarantee the future of the National Health Service, technological innovation alone is not enough; a strategic alliance between a global vision and local concreteness is needed. From telemedicine to artificial intelligence, through staff development and adequate funding, the challenge of the coming years will be to translate reforms into genuinely equitable access for every citizen, without leaving any region behind.
