At this moment, we are close to all people who, like us, are facing the emergency of Covid-19. The epidemic has distorted our lives, upsetting everyday routine; even simple gestures might represent a hazard for our health.
Although it is incredibly challenging to change suddenly and renounce our habits, all of us must do our part for the good of society and to safeguard ourselves and others. Only together, will it be possible to fight this battle, supporting all those who are facing the emergency at the forefront every day, with grueling shifts and away from loved ones.
Our thoughts go to the healthcare staff, whose extraordinary effort is dedicated to saving as many lives as possible and to relieving the suffering of the ill, as well as volunteers, who provide assistance in vulnerable areas.
Furthermore, special thanks go to the authorities, who are doing remarkable work in implementing the measures to contain the outbreak.
We are dealing with the emergency together, and we will rise again to restart better and firmer than ever before.
We will keep improving surgical education together!
