They will change the organization of Osakidetza to meet the health challenges in the Basque Country over the next decade
Health Counselor Alberto Martínez has reproached Minister Monica García for not taking measures to alleviate the medical deficit, which is the exclusive competence of the Ministry of Health.
The Department of Health of the Basque Government has presented to Parliament the strategic reorganisation of Osakidetza for the modernization of structures, the reduction of managerial positions and the strengthening of care. The plan envisages the creation of a Data Office (DATA), the restructuring of OSIs to bring care closer to citizens anda historic investment in health infrastructure of EUR 1.3 billion over the next seven years.
Counsellor Alberto Martínez has argued that Euskadi is entering a "new health age" in which digitization, organizational innovation and the humanization of care will be fundamental axes. He has recalled that the Basque Health Pact, drawn up with the participation of more than 500 people, is the road map that will mark the future of the public system.
At the same time, Martínez has denounced that the Ministry of Health "has done nothing" in the field of human resources, since this competence belongs exclusively to the State. He has explained that the proposals of the Basque Government to increase the MIR places, to raise the retirement age or to assess the Basque language in the training of specialists have been rejected. "The Ministry talks about what is already legalized and does not make progress in what is appropriate."
The counsellor has also announced that the Basque Country will not participate in the Interterritorial Health Councilas long as the Ministry maintains an "arbitrary" attitude towards the Autonomous Community.
