Proposal requested for a worker radiation safety directive, addressing risks from ionizing radiation exposure.
The Regional Health Councillor, Federico Riboldi, has announced that a decision on the funding method for the new hospital in Alessandria will be made by early September. The hospital, set to be built in the Galimberti neighborhood, is expected to cost over 400 million euros and will be a shared path with the territory.
The chosen funding method, whether Inail funds or a public-private partnership, is yet to be decided. Initially, a decision was expected by the end of July or early August, but has been pushed back to mid-next month. This Inail funding provides an immediate alternative to the public-private partnership, and the Region has presented a request for it, which has been positively evaluated.
The construction of the new hospital will not be completed before 2030, possibly later. The monobloc part of the old hospital, Santi Antonio e Biagio, is expected to be demolished to make way for the new structure. It's unclear what will be done with the area of the old hospital after demolition, but the Municipality could potentially be given control of the area after the demolition is complete.
The new hospital in Alessandria will be modern, innovative, efficient, and sustainable, up to the standard of the first public IRCCS in Piedmont. The concept of Community Houses has been discussed for some time, but implementations have been questionable. The Regional Health Councillor has emphasized that the process will not involve any steps backwards or omissions.
However, the Regional Health Councillor has criticized the city of Alessandria for forgetting tenders, possibly referring to a tender on free transport for university students. The coffers of Palazzo Rosso, presumably referring to the city hall of Alessandria, may not have sufficient funds for the area after demolition.
A new junction may be necessary due to the location of the new hospital. The fate of the old hospital is yet to be determined, but Councillor Luigi Icardi, Riboldi's predecessor, suggested adapting the historic part of the old hospital as a basic healthcare structure.
The Regional Health Councillor has stated that the process for the new hospital is complex but defined. The search results do not contain information about the person likely to lay the first stones for the new hospital in Alessandria or the expected date for this event. The new hospital in Alessandria will be a significant step towards modernizing healthcare in the region, and more updates are expected in the coming months.
