Senator Tilde Minasi has been active in addressing various aspects of the Italian healthcare system. In Calabria, Minasi initiated a parliamentary inquiry into the ‘Comitato spontaneo a tutela della salute di Polistena’, a group campaigning against the weakening of the Santa Maria degli Ungheresi hospital. While the inquiry acknowledges the group’s efforts, it also seeks to investigate reports of potential ‘undue pressure’, ‘interference’, or ‘conditioning’ of hospital management and staff.

On a broader national level, Minasi, acting as co-president of the parliamentary intergroup ‘Together for a commitment against cancer’, has outlined strategic priorities for oncological care. These priorities include enhancing prevention through early diagnosis, ensuring regional equity in treatment access, advancing research, and strengthening the links between hospitals and local healthcare services.
