HYDROXYCHLOROKINE: THE COUNCIL OF STATE MAKES IT PRESCRIBABLE.
In the end, true medicine, that of general practitioners, won, although not completely.

Hydroxychlorichine was challenged by a Lancet study in May, and on the basis of this data some countries, including Italy with AIFA, have discontinued its experimental use. The study was later withdrawn, but not the prescription ban. Now the ball is back in the hands of the doctors, but with a bitter surprise: the medicine is NOT covered by the National Health Service! For heaven's sake, it is not a big expense and this element will not stop its use, but it is significant as, after having spent millions of words, by the government, on safeguarding health, on the reform of the health service, on the "Billions "To invest in equipment, consciously first put a spoke in the wheel for those who really want to heal the sick and then, in a rather ragged way, do not pay 20 euros for medicines to those who prescribe them for this potentially fatal disease, avoiding that some patients go to hospital or intensive care?
