Marche region healthcare staffing challenges

Overview

The implementation of new ‘Case di Comunità’ (Community Houses) in the Marche region is facing significant challenges due to critical staffing shortages. Although these facilities were funded by the PNRR to strengthen territorial healthcare and reduce emergency room visits, they currently lack the necessary personnel to fulfill their mandate.

Reports indicate that services in HUB-classified Community Houses are often partial or non-operational during weekends and holidays, with nurses frequently working without consistent medical staff support. There are growing concerns that the focus on these new structures may neglect essential home-based care networks for the elderly and chronically ill. Experts have called for an urgent increase in family and community nurses through improved regional training and staffing allocations to ensure continuity of care.
