Overview

• The Andalusian health service has begun a week-long campaign to contact about 2,000 women with non‑conclusive mammograms and place them on a preferential path for follow-up tests.
• President Juanma Moreno announced a crash plan and an audit of all cancer screening programs, saying responsibilities will be assigned once the immediate failures are corrected.
• Health minister Rocío Hernández apologized, said a mandatory informative appointment will be added to the protocol, and declined to resign after acknowledging there was no uniform notification procedure.
• Patient group Amama cites wider delays across care, highlighting Seville’s Virgen del Rocío hospital with oncological review waits of up to a year, while the SAS notes roughly 98% of these unclear findings are ultimately benign.
• Oversight and legal pressure are mounting as the regional ombudsman investigates, opposition parties seek a parliamentary inquiry, and the Junta announces a phased expansion of screening to ages 45–75 that some groups warn could strain capacity.
