Crans-Montana Survivor Speaks From ICU as Italy Ramps Up Burn Care

Italy’s health system is concentrating resources on complex burn care.

Overview

  • Eleonora Palmieri, 29, posted from Milan’s Niguarda ICU to thank caregivers and said survivors are fighting to heal after the New Year’s Eve fire.
  • Niguarda says it is treating eleven injured from the blaze, with six patients in intensive care and five in the burn center.
  • Clinicians prepared a bed for student Leonardo Bove’s transfer from Zurich to Milan today, while fellow Italian patient Elsa Rubino is expected to be moved to Turin.
  • Elsa, 15, remains intubated in Zurich in a delicate but reported stable condition after two surgeries, including intestinal, according to her family.
  • To support treatment, Niguarda requested additional Nexobrid supplies from Liguria due to scarce global production, as emergency psychologists assist students and President Mattarella meets affected families.
