Challenging the crisis: ths IZSV’s example

Pubblicato il 02/07/2013Read time: 1 min

The Istituto Zooprofilattico Sperimentale delle Venezie (IZSV) not only managed to balance the books but was also able to get a final budget for 2012, approved at the end of May, with a gain of more than two milions of euro. Such a result is no small thing, considering the difficult period that the public administration is dealing with. Two millions of euro represents almost 5 per cent of the whole production, with a profit similar to that of an industry.

This gain comes as a consequence of an increase in the activities (9%) and, most of all, of strict cost avoidance, with particular attention to the expenses due to personnel, non-healthcare goods and external collaborations. All these successes were the result of the industriousness of the whole staff and of a careful planning based on concrete criteria, following a course pursued by all the managing authorities within the IZSV.

The embarrassing Covid

di Stefania Salmaso

There's a certain discomfort in having to talk about Covid-19 again, as demanded by the increase in cases that is also recorded in Italy. The reason, writes epidemiologist Stefania Salmaso, might perhaps be identified in the lack of a transparent process that allows understanding on what basis the health authority formulates recommendations, leading to reliance on pundits.

Epidemiology

“An embarrassing Covid-19”: It could be the title of a short story by Calvino or a rhyme by Rodari, but it's what we're witnessing these days. The increasing frequency of SARS-CoV-2 infections in various areas of the world, including Italy, has forced mainstream media to address it again. However, it's often discussed with a sort of embarrassment and only for the sake of reporting. When discussing possible countermeasures, the discomfort becomes even more apparent.
