Manual for Combatting Health Privatization

In a detailed Manual for Combatting Health Privatization, Juan Antonio Gil de los Santos (a Podemos health spokesperson and Andalucía deputy) and Dr. Gustavo Laguardia offers some suggestions for “actions to reverse and combat the privatization of the public health system.” These include transparency; producing an accurate audit of human capital, services and infrastructure so they can be adjusted accordingly; a clear idea of whether we are talking about preventive, curative or rehabilitative services; the appropriate supervision and professionalization of managers; “valuing and recognition of our health professionals”; and “stop playing a passive and subordinate role in the drug market. It represents more than one third of total health spending.”
