Overview
- Nicolás Navarro Díaz will replace María Luisa del Moral Leal as viceconsejero in the Andalusian Health Ministry, according to official confirmation.
- The appointment is due to be ratified by the Junta de Andalucía’s Consejo de Gobierno on Monday.
- The regional government presents the change as a leadership reset following failures in communicating doubtful breast-cancer diagnoses, which also triggered other recent departures.
- PSOE-A spokesman Mario Jiménez condemned the choice over Navarro’s private-hospital roles, alleging a push toward privatization, while the Junta highlights his public-system credentials.
- Navarro is a physician from Motril, a former first vice president of the Granada provincial council and deputy mayor, currently on leave from the public health service and previously head of Emergency at the private HLA Inmaculada hospital.
