Osakidetza will bring breast cancer screening forward to 45 years and take on the abortions it spends on a private day
The Health Counselor has announced that voluntary terminations of pregnancy will begin progressively, with a forecast to be taken over "in two years" and that by 2027 the age of screening for breast cancer will be reduced to 45.
Within two years, Osakidetza will assume "all abortions that it currently directs to the private "and reduce screening for breast cancerto 45 years , as announced by the Basque Government's Health Adviser, Alberto Martínez.
In an interview published this Sundayby the newspaper El Correo , Martinez explains that they will gradually begin to make voluntary terminations of pregnancy with the prospect of taking them "in two years."
In this regard, it has indicated that private clinics are paid EUR 1.2 million per year for providing this service, but that by 2026 they will 'save' EUR 500 000 by taking on abortions.
"The right to terminate pregnancy was guaranteed in the Basque Country and was done with public funds in authorised clinics," he said. "Now, however, we want to ensure that the commitment of Osakidetza and the Basque Government to this right of women is even stronger by integrating it into the system with this symbolic gesture," he added.
As for breast cancer, he has announced that next year Osakidetza will lower the minimum age for screening to 48.
"But by 2027 we're going to lower it even further, until we reach the age of 45. We're seeing a lot of tumor cases among young women. "
