(TR) We reached 500 million euros just in 2026 to modernize healthcare technology. Mammography machines, ultrasound machines, CT scans, MRI machines, radiology, cardiology, endoscopy, neonatology… To diagnose earlier, treat better, and reduce territorial inequality.
(TR) While we were promoting aid of up to 9,850 euros per month for 24-hour care for patients with ALS, the Community of Madrid intended for them to pay 40% out of their own pocket. It's good news that they have corrected this.
(TR) We approved to expand breast cancer screening to women between 45 and 74 years old. Until now, it covered ages 50 to 69, although some autonomous communities had already extended it. The new range should be progressively implemented throughout the country to diagnose earlier and reach more women.
(TR) There is no possible health among the ruins. In the face of denialism and everyone for themselves, Spain is leading a defense of global health based on science, cooperation between countries, and strong public systems. Today at the World Health Assembly: https://t.co/mNUBRA9PPm
(TR) A year ago, Spain, along with other countries, pushed for the first international WHO resolution recognizing rare diseases as a global public health priority. Today, in Geneva, we continue to work to turn that declaration into real progress.
(TR) All contacts currently in quarantine at the Gómez Ulla Hospital have tested negative in the second PCR performed.
(TR) The hantavirus or Ebola have reminded us that global health knows no borders. Spain is building bridges between America and Europe to forge alliances and create a common response to potential emergencies.

(TR) Hatred, discrimination, and pointing fingers also have consequences for health. That is why, on the International Day Against Homophobia, Transphobia, and Biphobia, we demand a society where all people can live freely, with dignity and without fear.
(TR) Doing PCR in Cape Verde (the samples would have to go to Switzerland) or the Canary Islands (they would have to go to Madrid anyway) would have meant that the positive cases worsened on the ship. Thanks to the rapid evacuation, they are receiving hospital care today. Let's stop the misinformation: https://t.co/EMmsxSZXUH
(TR) The hantavirus has once again demonstrated that global health knows no borders. More health emergencies will come, and we must be prepared. Today we are working with Ibero-American countries to advance joint strategies to protect public health.
(TR) Mónica García, about the hantavirus crisis: "There are 14 Spaniards here that some people wanted to leave stranded."
(TR) This is Spain's model: resolving crises with science, humanity, and strong public services. It is something we can be proud of. And the rest of the world has recognized this.
(TR) Anyone who has reported with rigor has become a public health asset. Anyone who has spread alarmist misinformation has gone in the opposite direction.
(TR) Diana Rojas Álvarez (WHO): “It was not an option to leave them on the ship indefinitely. When a case is detected and one is...”
(TR) There have been those who wanted decisions to be made not based on technical criteria, but on political opportunity. And we have not allowed it. Spain has demonstrated humanity, coordination, and scientific rigor in the face of misinformation and alarmism.
(TR) "It was necessary for this operation to be carried out in a country like ours with all the guarantees of safety and public health..."
(TR) "There has been an exhaustive epidemiological follow-up of each and every one of the people we have personally contacted…"
(TR) We have initiated the parliamentary processing of the Public Management Law project to safeguard public health and repeal the law 15/97 that opened the door to privatization.
(TR) We approved a reform of the pharmaceutical co-payment to safeguard equity and protect middle and low incomes. Very important for those patients with chronic diseases and prolonged treatments.
(TR) We know that more health crises will come. And when they arrive, Spain has shown that it is prepared to face them. A success of the country we are. Of a supportive, empathetic society that responds with trust in science and public services.
(TR) The patient who yesterday tested positive provisionally has been confirmed as positive for hantavirus. As for the rest of the people…
(TR) "Viruses do not know borders, our greatest immunity comes from solidarity. And that is the solidarity that Spain has shown."
(TR) The first genetic analyses of the hantavirus from the MV Hondius confirm that it corresponds to the already known Andes variant and dismiss relevant mutations. The investigation helps to reconstruct how the transmission occurred and to strengthen epidemiological monitoring.
(TR) The 14 Spaniards at the Gómez Ulla have already had their PCR done, and we expect to know the results today. Of the 54 people remaining on the ship, 28 will disembark this afternoon in the Canary Islands, and 26 will continue on board heading to the Netherlands.
(TR) Beyond all the difficulties, today we can be proud of the operation and of a solvent and robust country in terms of public health.
The whole world is watching us and Spain has demonstrated its ability to lead an international health emergency. We are executing an unprecedented evacuation in coordination with 23 countries. We are a country that is both supportive and efficient at the same time.

The 14 Spaniards board the plane bound for Gómez Ulla. They have been evacuated in small groups, using bubble buses from the UME, with disinfection processes and personal protective equipment at each stage of the transfer. External Health confirms that they are all asymptomatic. (Original: Los 14 españoles suben al avión con destino al Gómez Ulla.

Thorough and meticulous tracking, leaving no loose ends. This is how a robust epidemiological surveillance system like ours works. That's why it was important that this unprecedented operation took place in Spain. It is a pride to put it at the service of the world.

The initial intervention on the cruise has consisted of evacuating those who were sick (already repatriated), isolating the passengers, and monitoring contacts to avoid new cases. A cruise ship does not have ICUs or health facilities like those needed in a hospital.

A ship where an outbreak has occurred is not a suitable place for treatment or quarantine. There is no space to keep symptomatic patients who may appear separate, and the ventilation systems are not adequate to reduce the risk of transmission.
