The defense of public healthcare is once again mobilizing O Baixo Miño. This Wednesday, November 4th, residents of the region will have buses available to travel to Vigo and participate in the demonstration called by SOS Sanidade Pública under the slogan ‘More public healthcare for the Vigo health area’, a new day of demands to request improvements in healthcare and the functioning of public health services.
The buses will depart from A Guarda at 5:30 PM and will make stops in O Rosal, facilitating travel for those interested in participating in this mobilization. To reserve a seat or check pick-up points, residents can call 986 61 04 65.
The demonstration, which will start at 7:00 PM in Vigo's Plaza de España, will bring together residents from different municipalities in the health area to raise awareness of the territory's healthcare needs and demand public, accessible, and quality healthcare, with sufficient resources to meet the population's demands.
This mobilization comes in a context of concern about the state of primary care in municipalities like O Rosal, where delays in obtaining medical appointments and a shortage of sufficient professionals at the health center are some of the main difficulties affecting residents.
The City Council has long been demanding improvements in healthcare and staffing levels to meet the population's needs. Difficulties in accessing consultations within reasonable timeframes, which at times have meant waiting several weeks, highlight the importance of strengthening primary care resources, especially in rural municipalities.
