Trade unions ask the Basque Government for solutions to ensure the public health system in Bilbao

  • The trade unions ELA, SATSE, LAB, SME, UGT, CCOO and ESK protested on 3 October last through the streets of the Basque capital. They denounce that the situation of the public health system is serious and, in many cases, unsustainable. If the Basque Government does not take steps in the search for solutions, the unions will continue to organize mobilizations in the Basque Country.

Zarata mediatikoz beteriko garai nahasiotan, merkatu logiketatik urrun eta irakurleengandik gertu dagoen kazetaritza beharrezkoa dela uste baduzu, ARGIA bultzatzera animatu nahi zaitugu. Geroz eta gehiago gara, jarrai dezagun txikitik eragiten.

In a joint press release, the unions have pointed out that the workers have shown their anger and extreme fatigue in this respect. They affirm that the deficiencies they live every day are structural, “those that come from afar and those that have been aggravated by the current health crisis”. The citizens also complain about this, who have denounced the decline in the quality of health care in the streets of the Biscayan capital.

Trade unions have focused on cuts in recent years: lack of investment in public health, high rates of temporality, systematic overload of work, scarcity of human and material resources, cutbacks in working conditions, privatization of services, etc.

They call for public health to become a priority and for structural and profound solutions to be put in place to ensure the future of the public health system.
