Health systems are saturated, and not only in Spain. A 60 -year -old Italian woman called her GP to evaluate the tests he had just done. However, his doctor said: “Madam, he has an appointment in 17 days. If he believes it is an urgency, he tries to go to emergency.”
Given this, the lady decided to go to urgencies of the hostpial of Urbino, as reported by the media . But before an overloaded room, the desperate woman chose to seek help on her own and went to the bar. “Are you a doctor? Please, can you help me understand the results of these tests?” He asked those present.
“I wanted to know if I should change the treatment or not, but I couldn’t wait 17 days,” he said. “The status of our medical care is absurd: even with the header now you have to wait. And go to the emergency room, unless it is an extreme urgency, it means an eternal wait,” he added.
In Urbino, according to the large territorial registry updated to April 6, 2025, there are 10 family doctors available. Of these, only five can accept new members -the other five, however, under certain conditions. In the nearby Fermignano there are six doctors of header, of which only one can accept new users without distinction.
