Abstract

The organizational configuration of hospital services and the resulting approach to territorial services in Valle d’Aosta have repercussions on the effectiveness of the right to health and the establishment of a universal and equal healthcare model. The mentioned reform perspectives, especially regarding territorial assistance, aim to introduce a health planning focused on integrated coordination between hospital and territorial structures. However, the delay in activating this planning tool, uncertainties regarding the resources provided by the National Recovery and Resilience Plan (PNRR) under Mission 6, the provision of 4 Community Houses and only one Community Hospital that will exclude, due to their location, the more internal and peripheral areas of the Region, highlight the need to focus on how the overall objective is to redesign a healthcare assistance model that complies with national (and, above all, constitutional) requirements and is capable of providing urgent and concrete responses to the peculiarities of a complex territory like Valle d’Aosta, both morphologically and demographically.
