The Return of the GP: Sassari’s Health Services Get a Boost
Sassari, the land of stunning landscapes and delicious food, has just announced some news that’s bound to raise a few eyebrows and hopefully some heart rates—though, let’s stick with the heart rate part, shall we? Drumroll, please… a brand-new General Practitioner (GP) is entering the scene! Yes, folks, that’s right! The local Health Authority has finally decided that after nearly a year of playing hide and seek with healthcare, it’s time for Dr. Giovanni Maria Cherchi to mount his steed (well, more like a comfy clinic chair) on October 21, 2024.
Flavio Sensi, the General Director of the ASL of Sassari, triumphantly exclaimed, “After Palmadula, we are now also able to open the medical clinic in Bancali!” If that’s not a statement of victory, I don’t know what is. It’s like he just won a gold medal in competitive bureaucracy! Kudos for the perseverance, Flavio, we salute your efforts in getting those clinics up and running faster than a sneeze spreads germs!
Meet Dr. Giovanni Maria Cherchi
So, who exactly is this Dr. Cherchi, you ask? Well, he’s officially the designated doctor for Sassari and Bancali, taking residency at the glamorous locales of via Grazia Deledda and via Bancaleddu. His clinics will be handing out advice, prescriptions, and probably a few healthy doses of ‘put down that pastry’ advice during the following hours:
- Sassari:
- Monday and Thursday: 09:00 – 10:00
- Tuesday: 10:00 – 12:00
- Wednesday and Friday: 16:00 – 18:00
- Pallets:
- Monday & Thursday: 16:30 – 18:30
And just to add a pinch of drama, the Bancali clinic closed its doors in early 2024 when Dr. Paolo Carossino decided to retire—as if disappearing into the sunset a little too aptly for a healthcare professional. One minute you’re seeing patients, the next, it’s bingo night at the local community center!
Finding Your GP – The Search is On!
Now, if you’re one of the lucky few who finds themselves without a GP, fear not! It seems there’s a ‘Choose Your Own GP’ party going on next week. Residents will need to head over to the ‘Choice and Revocation of a Doctor’ office in Sassari. Just remember, no one likes a party-crasher, so make sure you follow the right guidelines!
Here are the details to steal your way into the GP lineup:

And if that wasn’t enough, swing by the local pharmacy to grab a GP, provided you come equipped with your health card and ID! Honestly, it’s like a medical lottery—who knows what you’ll end up with?
