The protest called for Saturday by public health platforms has received broad support
more than 60 groups have joined the call. The demonstrations will depart at 12:00 in Bilbao (from Sacred Heart Square) and Vitoria (from Bilbao Square), and at 17:00 in Donostia (from Boulevard).
The OPA for Public Health has received broad support for the protest called by the Citizen Platform for Public Health for next Saturday, April 18. Under the slogan 'For Quality Health Care, Without Cuts and Privatizations', demonstrations will be held in the three capitals of the Basque Autonomous Community.
EH Bildu, Podemos and the Sumar Movement, the unions ELA, LAB, CCOO, UGT, ESK, STEILAS, CNT and CGT, and the various social movements.
The People's Platform for Public Health has said that "the right to health is at serious risk "due, among other things, to" continuous deterioration and privatization. "" Through an unprecedented propaganda campaign, the counsellor has announced large infrastructure, but there is a lack of professionals to respond to them (...) in Osakidetza we do not need more propaganda or more headlines. "
They urge the Department of Health of the Basque Government to immediately resolve "structural problems" and focus on Primary Care as the "main injured", in their own words. "More than a week to enter family medicine, delays of more than one year in some specialties, and professionals exhausted due to the overload of care."
The Health Counselor, Alberto Martinez, "has tried to show that he is doing a different way of managing," but they have explained that he has only "followed" the example of the previous ones, adding that the "gravity" of the situation requires taking responsibility and calling for the resignation of the counsellor.
