According to AMSI, the Association of Foreign Doctors, there are 77,500 foreign health workers already working in Italy and in many cases they are decisive in keeping services running. Of them, 22 thousand are doctors and 38 thousand nurses, but there are also physiotherapists and pharmacists. They come largely from the Middle East and North Africa, but not only. Striking is the case of Calabria, where the first 50 Cuban doctors are already at work, the vanguard of a group of 497 doctors (over three years) who will support Calabrian public health care on the basis of an agreement signed by the President of the Region, Roberto Occhiuto, with the Cuban state-owned company CSMC, Comercializadora de Servicios Médicos Cubanos. In the health sector, in short, efforts are being made to patch up the holes. However, now local public transportation is also in danger of going haywire due to a lack of drivers. Faced with stopped buses, Veneto President Luca Zaia has decided to try to hire drivers from Argentina, where there would be an overabundance. The region is short of 600, and almost no one showed up at the last recruitment call.
