Sul versante dell’assistenza sanitaria, l’Associazione Nazionale per gli Interessi del Mezzogiorno d’Italia (ANIMI), svolge un importante ruolo privilegiando soprattutto l’infanzia, soggetto verso il quale garantisce cure igienicosanitarie anche all’interno di strutture appositamente predisposte. Numerosi sono i centri di accoglienza, di assistenza e gli ambulatori istituiti anche a beneficio di micro-comunità situate nelle aree interne della Calabria che si affiancano all’opera di educazione igienico-sanitaria condotta costantemente attraverso gli asili. Ulteriori significative articolazioni del progetto di bonifica socio-sanitaria sono individuabili nell’istituzione di colonie-scuola in cui assistere i bambini colpiti da malattie come la malaria e la tracomatosi e nella fondazione dell’Istituto Diagnostico a Reggio Calabria divenuto polo di ricerca di eccellenza nello studio, nella prevenzione e nella cura di malattie molto diffuse nelle aree meridionali.

Abstract
In terms of healthcare assistance, the National Association for the Interests of Southern Italy (ANIMI) plays an important role with a particular focus on childhood, guaranteeing social and health assistance to children, including within structures specifically designed for this purpose. Alongside the hygiene and health education work constantly carried out in kindergartens, there are many assistance centre and clinics that have also been created for the benefit of micro-communities in the interior areas of Calabria. Additional significant expressions of the project of social and health remediation can be found in the creation of school-colonies, which provided assistance to children suffering from diseases such as malaria and inflammatory eye disease, and in the foundation of the Diagnostic Institute in Reggio Calabria, which has become a research centre of excellence in the study, prevention and cure of diseases that are very widespread in areas of southern Italy.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
