Movement Urges Government to Fund Oncology Center of Excellence in Calabria
What happened
A civic and political movement, "Più UNO," has been established to advocate for the creation of a major oncology center in Calabria. The movement was founded by Ernesto Maria Ruffini, who is a former Director of the Revenue Agency and the Revenue-Collection Agency. Massimo Misiti, an orthopedic surgeon and former parliamentarian, serves as the regional coordinator for the movement.

Why it matters
The movement appeals to regional and national politicians to secure extraordinary government investment for a highly specialized center. This center would concentrate advanced diagnostics, oncology surgery, and innovative therapies, aiming to reverse the trend of healthcare migration where citizens are forced to seek treatment outside the region.
