The health advisers of the Basque Government, Alberto Martínez, Jesús Fernández and Esther Monzón, have sent a letter to the Spanish Minister of Health, Monica García , requesting the appointment of an independent mediator in the medical strike.
In the letter, the health officials of the communities propose the appointment of an independent mediator to act as a neutral framework for dialogue between the Ministry of Health and the strike committee, the aim of which would be to open up a space for constructive negotiation, create a climate of mutual trust and contribute to a joint solution that would avoid prolonging the effects of the conflict on patients and health services.
The proposal states thatthe Platform of Patient Organizations may be an appropriate body for this mediation work, since it is highly independent and committed to the general interest. In any case, the advisers stress that the mediator is elected at the state level and that an effective mediation mechanism must be put in place as soon as possible.
Impact on health care
The Health Advisers recall that the medical strike throughout the State has been motivated by discrepancies between the collective and the Ministry of Health on the Framework Statute, and that although it is a conflict at the state level, the consequences directly affect patients and health services, increasing tension.
Given the high impact of the strike and the increased pressure it exerts on the health systems of the Autonomous Communities, the letter's envoys consider it essential to seek a negotiated solution to ensure the continuity and quality of health care.
The letter sent to the Minister expresses the concern of the Autonomous Governments that no significant progress has been made in the dialogue between the Ministry and the doctors, and recalls that the opening of an independent mediation channel may contribute to mutual understanding.
The health officials of the Autonomous Communities have made themselves available to the Ministry to work together to resolve the conflict in a positive manner.
