The Plan advances and with it go our expectations, attentive to how many steps are taken to make this new opportunity the best ally to solve the inefficiencies that had been detected for years in the health ecosystem.
Greater public investment in healthin relation to our GDP, of course, but first it is necessary to establish its need, destination, evaluation and impact, as well as the mandatory ethical, legal and cybersecurity conditions. In the data economy in which we are immersed, we cannot be oblivious to the interest aroused by the health sector and new non-traditional agents; and ensure the protection of patient data.
Las new technologies They are our allies, they do not come to replace anyone, but they do force us to optimize our limited resources, and by acquiring digital skills as we move forward, incorporate new processes and solutions to provide the best possible health care at all times.
The Council of Ministers on June 6, 2023 has approved the addendum to the Spanish Recovery Plan. We miss a more determined commitment in the health sector, taking into account where we come from (pandemic crisis), and where we are going (coverage of an increasingly aging population).

If we position the funds in the system without be more demanding in terms of their destination and greater transparency and evaluation of the publicwe will be far from the adequate objectives to produce the necessary changes.

Among all of us, but especially the Government of Spain, we must ensure the efficiency in the use of these funds. We need to promote mechanisms that allow all parties to prepare to actively participate in current and future calls. Actions to disseminate information about the funds, success stories and other practical information, involving different socioeconomic agents in the ecosystem are essential.
We must continually ask ourselves the question: are we taking advantage of this unique and unrepeatable opportunity? In the honest answer we will find what we are looking for.
