07/06/17

The commemoration for the 184 anniversary of the Army Health Corps took place this morning in the aula magna of the Rome Logistics Support Command. The War Flag of the Body and the Banner of the City of Rome Capital were present at the ceremony along with many civil and military authorities and representatives of the academic world. The Army Chief of Staff, Army Corps General Danilo Errico wanted to extend his personal best wishes, and that of the entire Italian Army, of ever greater successes to all members of all military ranks and civilians, who commit themselves every day to such a delicate and fundamental sector, congratulating themselves for the fundamental and concrete support provided for every request and emergency in health.

"Humanitarian activity in the health field - said the Chief of Staff of the Army - conducted in compliance with the Hippocratic Oath, which requires treating every patient with equal care and commitment, always implies a fruitful cooperation between military organization and civilian hospitals that aims to help improve closeness and support to the population".

The Army Health Corps, in recent years, is increasingly in contact with the civil world with which it stipulates agreements and carries out collaborations for the use of defense structures such as, for example, the agreement between the Military Hospital of Milan and the Agency North Milan Territorial Health Associate presented by Dr. Fulvio Edoardo Odinolfi (ASST Nord Milan General Director).

As evidence of the increasingly appreciated collaboration between the Italian Army and the civil health world, the magnificent rector of the Sapienza University, Professor Eugenio Gaudio and professor Stefano Marini, dean of the faculty of medicine and surgery of the University of Tor Vergata.

At the end of the ceremony, Professor Gaudio and Professor Marini, together with the Chief of Staff of the Army, presented some specialization and bachelor's degrees to medical officers and nursing marshals.
