Healthcare advocacy groups demand 24-hour emergency services in Spain

In Aragon, the Platform in Defense of Public Health in Huesca and SOS Rural Health of Ayerbe and Almudévar have launched a signature campaign to demand a mobile Intensive Care Unit (ICU). The group is requesting a medicalized unit, staffed with doctors, nurses, and emergency technicians, to operate 24/7 and 365 days a year. This resource would serve Huesca, the Hoya de Huesca region, and the Monegros region, providing critical emergency interventions and inter-hospital transfers.

In Murcia, political representatives have also called for improved urgent care. VOX has presented an initiative in the Regional Assembly of Murcia to demand the immediate implementation of a Primary Care Emergency Service (SUAP) in Fortuna. The proposal seeks a service that operates 24 hours a day to prevent residents from facing long wait times or having to travel to the Morales Meseguer hospital for urgent medical needs.
