I am convinced that thanks to the establishment of the College, the ISS will be even more proactive in responding to the health needs of the San Marino population”. “I gladly conveyed my greetings to the Board of Directors – declares the Secretary of State for Health, Roberto Ciavatta – because I believe that the launch of this body can further stimulate within the Departments and in general in the Institute, that bond which must be increasingly suitable and operational between hospital services and the territory for the benefit of the activity of our professionals and operators who work on the ISS and above all of our San Marino community”.
