  • The new Govern de la Generalitat aims to improve Catalonia's public health, by establishing a more efficient organization to increase quality and guarantee financial sustainability.
  • President Salvador Illa plans to form a committee of experts to define the necessary reforms.
  • The committee should consider the proposals previously made by other Catalan health organizations.
  • The main problem lies in the shortage of financial resources, where contributions are below those of other European countries and autonomous communities.
  • The gap between the current budget and actual spending is marked, with an exponential increase in health costs.
  • A broad debate and cooperation from all parties, including a contribution of more resources, is needed to achieve an improvement in Catalonia's public health.

Conclusion: For Salvador Illa, effecting a health reform in Catalonia requires efficient management, adequate financial resources, and a wide social and political consensus that provides stability to the system.
