Overview

• The family's lawyer, José Antonio Sires, says a criminal complaint will be filed next Tuesday in Seville against the Junta de Andalucía for alleged negligence by the regional health service.
• According to the family, the patient had a mastectomy in 2020 with six-month reviews that stopped after November 2023, she was not recalled in April 2024, was sent to palliative care in June 2025, and died in July.
• Sires argues the 2023–2024 digitalization of the screening system did not remove the duty to follow up doubtful or positive results or the maximum timeframe for diagnostic resolution.
• Patient groups and political parties, including Defensor del Paciente, IU and Adelante Andalucía, have already filed complaints with the Prosecutor's Office, and reporting has linked the failures to the recent resignation of the regional health minister.
• Broader coverage reports more than 2,000 women affected and notes professional pressure over staffing and capacity, while other regions such as the Basque Country emphasize contacting all screened women and scheduling additional tests within about a week when needed.
