By mid-September 2026, the healthcare crisis in Campania escalated into a full suspension of services. Following the September 15 deadline, the AIOP Campania assembly confirmed a state of crisis, initiating a progressive reduction in scheduled hospital admissions. As of September 16, reductions began for rehabilitative, long-term care, and non-urgent medical and surgical admissions, with a total suspension of these services scheduled to take effect by September 21, 2026. On September 21, accredited private nursing homes officially suspended all scheduled admissions. AIOP attributed the collapse to spending limits, rising operational costs, and payment delays from local health authorities (ASL). The association highlighted a significant funding imbalance, noting that while private accredited structures provide approximately 30% of regional hospital services, they receive only about 14.23% of the regional hospital fund. AIOP further stated that reimbursement tariffs have remained frozen for 14 years and have effectively decreased by 10%, estimating that roughly €66.2 million worth of services were performed in 2024 beyond the allocated budget without remuneration. In response to the suspension, AIOP has called for the release of €35 million in residual funds from 2025 and an additional €7 million for the current year, citing economic instability caused by frozen medical tariffs dating back to 2012 and a lack of defined budgets. While emergency services remain guaranteed, officials warn the suspension of elective surgery, general medicine, and long-term care will divert thousands of patients to overcrowded public emergency rooms. Labor unions unions, including Cisl and groups like UGL Salute Campania Uil, have expressed concern for healthcare workers, with regional secretary Gerardo Marino stating that the “burden of criticized the systemic crisis should not be placed on employees.” Unions continue to call for urgent dialogue situation, with regional authorities, including President Roberto Fico, to resolve some warning that the financial instability. suspension harms both patients and workers, while others cautioned against unilateral actions by private clinics.
