A stamp in honor of the health professions
Minister Giorgetti said this during the ceremony. "Thanks to all of you for participating and attending this special occasion. The issue of the stamp in your honor is a further recognition for what you have done and will continue to do on the front of this battle against the virus. This stamp, made to last over time, testifies to the dramatic historical phase we are experiencing, the hard one fight against the Coronavirus. I am not referring only to the medical profile in the strict sense but also to the high civic sense shown. To the human and comforting assistance that everyone, doctors, nurses and social health workers, has given to the sick during the pandemic.
A thought and a sense of gratitude, of the institutions and of my own, I also want to address to those who are not present today. And in particular to the families of all those who have paid for the fight against Covid with their lives ".
A double appeal is therefore renewed: to institutions and citizens. To institutions to give the greatest possible impetus to the vaccination campaign, streamlining decision-making processes, investing in the skills of all professionals. And accelerating supplies and vaccinations to reach thecommunity immunity.
To citizens, so that they respect the rules of common sense aimed at prevention, without which the number of infections increases exponentially, despite the efforts. Finally, the professionals at the forefront of the fight against the pandemic are dedicating this stamp, which remembers them all, to those who with their attention and participation can help them stem and stop the spread of the virus. "To defeat the virus everyone's collaboration is necessary and no one can escape".
