• The Junta announced a €12 million emergency plan with 119 hires and extended hours to complete pending follow-up tests by November 30, targeting reviews within seven to eight weeks.
• About 2,000 women were affected, with roughly 90% of cases linked to Seville’s Hospital Virgen del Rocío; the remainder are concentrated in Málaga and Jerez de la Frontera.
