The "Clinical Institute Sant'Anna": http: //www.santanna-gsd.it/ based in Calabria in the south does not escape the austerity and the consequences are real for this advanced institute in the treatment of recovery from coma. 20% of the medical staff was dismissed.
In 18 years, his pioneering methods have proved their worth with 1,200 patients out of the coma as explained Maria, the mother of Vincenzo. His son was involved in a serious motorcycle accident, but thanks to Sant'Anna, its progress is incredible:
"Day after day, they show gestures of affection. Every touch, every time I take her in my arms. I am with my son for seven and a half years and has shown good signs of recovery. He does not speak, but when he sees me, his eyes following me, he hugs me, he eats, he stroked my hair, my hair grows back. So for me, all these signs of my son are really wonderful, "says the mother of Vincenzo
Other notable progress those Giovannina victim of a car accident, but can live with it supported by his daughter Maria Teresa. With Skype technology, it can continue to follow daily treatment and the recommendations of his doctor.
But all this has a cost and time savings to reduce deficits, € 10 billion cuts its last 5 years in the Italian regions, innovative treatments are sometimes easy to cut lines of credit. Yet they are determining not to cut the thin thread of life sometimes but real linking patients to their families and their existence on earth.
