Prosecutor Complaint Filed Over Andalusia Breast-Cancer Screening Crisis as Junta Cites Portal Outage

Spain's health minister calls for judicial and political inquiries after patients reported missing or altered records.

Overview

  • The association Amama lodged a complaint with the Fiscalía Superior de Andalucía seeking an urgent probe into alleged destruction or manipulation of mammograms and other tests.
  • Amama asked prosecutors to intervene or copy Servicio Andaluz de Salud servers and platforms to preserve potential evidence tied to the screening failures.
  • The regional health service acknowledged a technical incident that has blocked patient access to images and reports in ClicSalud, while insisting no tests, reports or clinical histories were deleted or lost.
  • Patients reported being unable to view imaging and, in some cases, alleged changes such as BI-RADS 3 or “suspicious lesion” reworded to “probably benign” and removal of radiologists’ names.
  • Health Minister Mónica García pressed for judicial and political scrutiny as disputed figures persist on how many women were recalled, and the Junta announces staffing measures without explaining the root cause.
