Marina Salud has a board of administration nonexistent in a public hospital, 12 formed by members, non-health chiefs have gone from 2 to 14 and clinical, of 10 to 28.
From the Platform report that "It is clearly a model where health care and economic management are less prevalent, less focused on people's health and more focused on the profitability of services."
Emergency closures in health centers Gata, Pedreguer, Ondara and Vergel were the main reasons for calling this protest. From the platform denounce "The impassivity of the head of Valencian health."
From the platform they have informed that they will cancel the protest if they receive a "firm commitment" from Císcar so that the emergency service in the Health Centers where it has been removed is operational again.
