Monica Garcia will be in Ceuta to discuss the health impact of the migration crisis
The Minister of Health, Monica García, will travel to Ceuta this Sunday to learn first-hand about the state of health in the city and to hold meetings with institutional, health and social representatives following the migration crisis.
Meetings with authorities and health professionals
First, Garcia will meet with the government delegate in Ceuta, Miguel Ángel Pérez, and the director of the National Institute of Health Management, Isabel Muñoz, while at 12.30 p.m. she will receive the president of Ceuta, Juan Jesús Vivas, and then hold a press conference at the headquarters of the government delegation.
The visit will also include a visit to the Otero Health Centre and the Ceuta University Hospital, where he will meet with the Staff Board and representatives of the Medical College, as well as representatives of social organizations.
Doctors call for urgent intervention.
The Spanish Confederation of Medical Unions requested the presence of García because of the extraordinary care pressure on public health in Ceuta.
However, the minister, in a letter sent to the president of the Official College of Doctors in Ceuta, pointed out that despite the significant increase in care activity, the data do not correspond to a situation of "health crisis", "health collapse" or "health disaster".
Elma Saiz is leaving on Monday.
Garcia's visit follows several visits by members of the Spanish Government to Ceuta, where thousands of migrants have visited since the entry of the city, the President of the Spanish Government, Pedro Sánchez, and the Ministers of the Interior, Territorial Policy, Foreign Affairs, Defence and Youth and Children.
On Monday, it will be the turn of the Minister for Social Integration, Social Security and Migration, Elma Saiz, who will meet at 10.30 a.m. with President Vivas at the Palace of the Assembly to discuss the humanitarian situation following the irregular massive entry of migrants into the city on 30 and 31 July.
