Sennori, more than 100 sign-ups for cardiac screening

More than 100 sign-ups for the free cardiac screening in Sennori. This is the figure released by the Municipality on Friday, November 13, 2026 for the “Ambulanza senza confini”, promoted by the local administration in collaboration with the AlbatroSS association. While electrocardiograms were being carried out at the AVIS premises, primary school pupils climbed aboard one of the ambulances destined for the upcoming mission in Senegal and Gambia.

Free electrocardiograms at the AVIS premises

The screening is taking place at the AVIS Sennori premises, at 9 Via Leonardo da Vinci. The Municipality has set two time slots for the electrocardiograms, from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. and from 2 p.m. to 6 p.m., for approved participants. The more than 100 sign-ups announced by the local administration refer to requests to take part. The total number of examinations carried out has yet to be announced.

Primary school pupils aboard the ambulance

At the Antonio Pazzola Cultural Centre, the morning was dedicated to pupils from the primary school on Via Marconi. After watching a documentary about AlbatroSS’s previous missions in Africa, the children were able to get inside the ambulance and take a close look at the equipment used during emergency call-outs. The visit helped explain how emergency responders work and familiarise the children with a vehicle many associate with sirens and emergencies.

During the meeting, Manolo Cattari, president of AlbatroSS, spoke with the pupils about the difficulties children and families in the communities reached by the missions face in accessing essential goods and services. Dr Vargiu, a retired doctor from Sennori, also attended the meeting.

The mission to Senegal and Gambia

Departure from Sardinia is scheduled for the end of November, according to the Municipality. The AlbatroSS mission in Senegal and Gambia will deliver emergency vehicles, wheelchairs and medical supplies. The association intends to supplement the donations with training in life-saving techniques for the communities it meets along the way.
