Milan, 18 March (LaPresse) – “Many people are worried about potential budget shortfalls and staff cuts, and I keep hearing and reading negative news. We respond with facts, and these are the facts: a piece of equipment that is unique not only in Italy but one of the very few of its kind in Europe, designed to enhance our core mission, which is to provide care using the best possible technologies and the most highly trained staff we can find in our region. These are facts, not words, speculation or idle chatter. And as you all know very well, we rely solely on facts.” This was stated by Guido Bertolaso, Welfare Councillor for the Lombardy Region, during the presentation of the new MRgFUS Exablate Prime system, one of the most innovative and promising technologies for the treatment of numerous neurological conditions, at the IRCCS Carlo Besta Neurological Institute in Milan. “ “We have brought this machine to Milan, to serve Lombardy and all Italians,” he said. “It is a non-invasive procedure performed whilst the patient is awake, which intervenes and resolves truly dramatic situations.” “Think of how many people, how many grandparents, suffer from hand tremors they cannot stop, which prevents them from carrying out a whole range of daily activities. With this procedure, that tremor is eliminated in 15 seconds,” he emphasised.
