Andalusia to Re-Review 2,000 Inconclusive Mammograms as Patients Allege ‘Absolute Negligence’

Authorities blame an old protocol that withheld doubtful results to avoid anxiety.

Overview

  • The regional government says it is calling roughly 2,000 women back for second tests and promises to act with transparency, diligence and solutions.
  • The association Amama rejects the explanation of mere errors, calling the lack of notification absolute negligence with possible criminal consequences.
  • Amama disputes the official tally, reporting many additional calls from women who believe they were left uninformed after inconclusive screenings.
  • President Juanma Moreno announced a short-term action plan to be presented this week, prioritized an audit to identify failures and did not rule out dismissals.
  • Legal and oversight steps are advancing as IU filed a complaint with the prosecutor, the Andalusian Ombudsman reviews testimonies and consumer group Facua launched a support platform.
