Xunta and USC Agree Plan to Link All Galician Health Centers to Santiago’s Medical Faculty

USC’s Governing Council has approved a new Sergas affiliation pact for all Galician health centers; UDC leaders have vowed to contest the move as they prepare a three-year financial stabilization plan.

Overview

  • USC’s Governing Council voted on July 23 to formalize a convention with Sergas that affiliates all hospitals and health centers in Galicia exclusively to its Medicine faculty.
  • The Universidade da Coruña accused USC and Sergas of appropriating public healthcare resources and announced it will challenge the agreement while drafting a mandated three-year financial stabilization plan.
  • Antonio Gómez Caamaño, Galicia’s health minister, said separate bilateral concerts will be negotiated with UDC and UVigo to allow clinical teaching at all centers and will not block new medical degree proposals.
  • Physicians at the Vigo University Hospital (CHUVI) and local officials insist that any initiative to create a faculty in A Coruña must be matched by one in Vigo to maintain regional equity.
  • Under regional and national rules, the Agency for University Quality (Acsug) holds final authority on new degrees, setting up a potential regulatory review of UDC’s planned Medicine program.
