Oñatiarra dies José Madinabeitia, a doctor who treated the children of workers free of charge

José Madinabeitia dies. In medicine he stood out in the fight against tuberculosis.

He entered politics in Bilbao, first around nationalism and then in the labour movement, first in socialism and finally in anarchism. That's why conservative clients left.

He opened his doors to the most needy and opened a consultation in Eibar, accompanying the sick for free. During the long miners' strike in Bizkaia, he took care of his children together with others and received about 200 children in Eibar.

He was one of the founders of Eusko Ikaskuntza in 1918.
