This Wednesday, pre-trial investigation proceedings have been initiated after the hospital admitted that two patients were killed by human error and three others in custody were injured.

The defect has also affected two other patients, one of whom is admitted to the ICU. The events occurred during the Christmas holidays due to an error in the preparation of the dose of a drug. The Department of Health of Castilla y León (Sacyl) has stated that this was a human error and has assumed responsibility.

Osakidetza has stressed the importance of knowing the symptoms and asking for help if they continue over time. It has reminded Basque society that in Osakidetza's mental health network there are 1,600 professionals who are committed to "helping those who need it".

EITB has brought together the first woman vaccinated in Bizkaia and the nurse who stung her on the fifth anniversary. The expectation, fear, hope and mistrust were evident at the time, because what we were experiencing was something historic. The arrival of the vaccines helped to improve the situation.

Counselor Ordeig said he's "almost certain" that the disease has entered through the human factor through the AP-7 or other means of communication. "We'll know in the next few days; it hasn't entered through an infected boar, it's been a human factor," he added.

The document defines four scenarios and proposes measures to be taken in each of them, which, according to the Ministry, will serve to "improve response" to influenza, covid and other infections.

A summary, in two words, of what will be news in the Present today.

Today, 1 December, is World AIDS Day. Today, some 6,200 people receive some form of HIV treatment in the Basque Autonomous Community, so we have been with some of them.

In the year 125 new cases are detected in the Basque Country, in Navarre 18 new cases of HIV have been detected between January and September 2025.

The disease has reappeared in the Spanish state 31 years after the last case was detected, but what consequences can the spread of the swine plague have?

The plan to catch wild boars infected with the African swine plague was reinforced this Sunday in the Collserola area of Barcelona, and it is not ruled out that another animal is found dead in the area.

At the same time, it calls for care, prudence and vigilance for all the agents of the Basque Country linked to the pig sector, which has killed six boars in Barcelona in two days.

These measures will be in force until 15 January, and an extension or reduction of the deadline will be assessed depending on the epidemiological situation.
