Fepagre Files Complaint Against Andalusia's Health Commissioners Over Breast Cancer Screening Mismanagement
The Andalusian Federation of Health Professionals (Fepagre) has filed a complaint against the last three Health Commissioners of Andalusia. The complaint alleges multiple crimes, including negligent homicide and negligent injuries, due to mismanagement in the breast cancer screening program. Toni Valero, general coordinator of IU Andalusia, has expressed concern about the 'mammogram scandal' that has left thousands of women uncertain about their cancer status.
The complaint argues that the Andalusian government's handling of the breast cancer screening program has been negligent. It alleges that a systemic failure led to inadequate tracking of 'inconclusive' or 'doubtful' cases, resulting in delayed diagnoses and progression of cancer. If a woman died from breast cancer due to lack of follow-up after a doubtful screening result, it would configure the crime of negligent homicide according to article 142 of the Penal Code. Valero criticizes the Andalusian government's management of public health insurance, stating that it has put the health of citizens at risk. The lack of early diagnosis has caused cancer progression and deaths among patients, exposing women to a serious risk to their health. United Left has filed the complaint for 'serious errors' in the breast cancer screening program.
The complaint, filed on October 6, names Rocío Hernández, Catalina García, and Jesús Aguirre as those denounced. It highlights the Andalusian government's failure to provide adequate health insurance services, which has led to negligent homicide and injuries. The impact of this mismanagement on the health of Andalusian women is severe and far-reaching.
