Massimo Pelliccia calls for improved healthcare access in Campania

Massimo Pelliccia, leader of the Forza Italia group in the Campania Regional Council, has stated that the right to healthcare must be guaranteed before discussions regarding end-of-life choices can proceed. Speaking after a regional council hearing involving various associations, Pelliccia highlighted significant inequalities in access to palliative care, hospice services, and home assistance within the Campania region.

Pelliccia emphasized that true freedom of choice regarding end-of-life decisions cannot exist if patients lack adequate medical alternatives. He called for a serious dialogue involving doctors, experts, healthcare workers, and patient associations to avoid ideological shortcuts. The lawmaker argued that the regional government has a duty to close existing gaps in service and ensure uniform care across the territory to prevent individuals from feeling forced into terminal decisions due to a lack of support.
