Spanish Health Service Towels Found in Moroccan Hotel Prompt Internal Reviews

Officials report no authorized transfers, with branded sanitary textiles restricted to clinical use.

Overview

  • Influencer Jorge Amor posted a viral video from Morocco showing hotel towels labeled with the Área de Salud de Navalmoral de la Mata and an older Junta de Andalucía logo.
  • The Extremadura Health Service (SES) says it has no record of loss or authorized cession and has opened an internal inventory check to trace any irregularities.
  • SES reiterated that items bearing its logo are for exclusive sanitary use and must not be commercialized, donated, or reused outside authorized channels.
  • The Andalusian Health Service (SAS) says textiles with the old Junta logo were used until exhausted, are no longer in circulation, and suggests the case could involve removal from a center or diversion via an external laundry.
  • Authorities have not identified the towels’ pathway, with hypotheses focusing on secondary markets linked to industrial laundries rather than any official donation program.
