The case was handled by Lucarelli. The regional transplant center has announced that the Salento girl, who underwent an intestinal transplant in Pittsburgh, will be followed up by the center in Bergamo.
“In these last weeks – it says in a note from the Crt (regional transplant center) – the planning activities for the patient’s return to Italy have continued. In agreement between the National Transplant Center, Regional Transplant Center, Transplant Center of Bergamo and Asl Lecce, the Transplant Center of Bergamo has been identified as the facility responsible for the clinical management of the patient upon her return to Italy.
In the next two weeks, online meetings will be held with the Pittsburgh team to outline the management procedures for the patient’s transfer to Italy, which will presumably take place between April and June 2024.” Giorgia’s story has become a case of national relevance due to the high refunds and donations.
However, the journalist has never received the requested reporting. Lucarelli has repeatedly pointed out how “the case from 2013 to date has cost the Asl of Lecce about 10 million euros.
Plus hundreds of thousands of euros to the Italian State and certainly a few million to generous Italian donors.” It arrives every day directly in your inbox at 12 p.m.
