Overview
- Official data show 472 operations postponed across Galicia along with 15,557 hospital consultations, 9,152 primary care visits, and 1,616 tests.
- Vigo reported 103 surgeries and thousands of consultations and tests canceled, while Pontevedra–O Salnés anulled about 34 surgeries on Thursday and Ourense tallied 72 surgeries deferred over the two days.
- Hospital managers are scheduling extra and evening activity to recover care, with Vigo planning roughly 1,500 additional diagnostic tests per month.
- Reprogramming is constrained by high occupancy from seasonal respiratory infections, which the health chief says is starting to ease in emergencies and inpatient wards.
- Authorities put morning participation at 22.67% (near 30% in major hospitals) and 4.6% in the afternoon, while unions claim above 80% and criticize minimum staffing levels; unions signal further mobilizations if demands over the Estatuto Marco are not met.
