The emotion of Carolina Darias when remembering the victims of AIDS

The Minister of Health, Caroline Dariashas led an act for World AIDS Day, an event in which there has been a moment where the minister couldn’t hold back the tearshaving to stop in his intervention.

Darias was mentioning the people who did not receive the treatment. It was then that he became emotional, receiving applause from those present and pausing briefly before continuing.

In addition, this Thursday, together with the Minister of Inclusion, Social Security and Migrations, Jose Luis Escrivahave proposed facilitating the active retirement of Primary Care (PC) doctors and paediatricians in Spain, temporarily and exceptionally, to solve the deficit of these specialists in the National Health System.

“It has been very well received by all the members of the CISNS, and adds to the measures that we have already been adopting to continue responding and promote the incorporation of doctors to the SNS“, explained Darias, who specified that it is a “temporary and exceptional” pilot program.

“The directors have recognized that the incentive is significant. The measure is designed in such a way that important a priori conditions are met for there to be significant adherence,” Escrivá added.

Goal: end HIV as a public health problem by 2030

In the government control session in the Congress of Deputies held this Wednesday, Darias shared his commitment to “end HIV as a public health problem by 2030“, responding to a question from EH Bildu about Health strategies to “address the reality of HIV and the social stigma that it still entails today”.

In this sense, he recalled the incorporation into the Common Portfolio of Services of the National Health System of a new injectable treatment that “improve the quality of life of patients that they will go from one pill a day to six injections a year”.
