Dr.Maurizio Maggiorotti, President of A.M.A.M.I & Prof. Giovanni Romano, President of SICCR.

NEWS:
Some contacts have been set up between Dr. Maggiorotti, President AMAMI and the Directive council SICCR with the intention of contributing to limit legal medical action when it is considered unreal and unfair, and to streamline the procedures of the latter.
With this objective in mind, the SICCR will undertake the policy of formulating some guidelines with the aim of drafting adequate reformed consents and the realization of correct medical information, which will be able to distinguish miracle-working publicity from real scientific and technological progress.
