starting next Monday, November 16, a space to carry out surgical abortions at Hospital Dos de Maig, the hospital has informed Europa Press. According to what Diari de Barcelona reported this Monday, the hospital’s medical teams will practice this procedure again after stopping it in 2012 for religious reasons, which was the cause of complaints and protests by feminist groups.
– which stipulates that public centers must offer this practice – began to take steps to offer the service. Liurba assures that the hospital does not perform abortions within the facility due to “logistical problems” and because they do not have sufficient capacity or space, and points out that 80% of the medical hospitalization and gynecology service are not objectors. “We have had a major outpatient surgery operating room in Dos de Maig for two or three years and we have sought to derive this activity there. After two years of requesting administrative authorization, we have had it since July,” he noted.
