Tamara Contreras, médica: “Cada día hay errores brutales en el hospital por la sobrecarga laboral y falta de recursos humanos”
La médica que presentó más de 110.000 firmas contra las guardias quiere hacer crecer el movimiento ciudadano por una sanidad pública segura
Dr. Tamara Contreras emerged as a prominent figure in the protest against 24-hour medical staff when, in March 2024, she delivered over 110,000 signatures to the Ministry of Health, demanding their removal. After meeting with her, Health Minister Mónica García, whom she addresses by her first name, pledged to address the issue within the reform of the Marco Statute.
However, the text approved by the Council of Ministers fell far short of resolving the main problems, according to Contreras and many doctors. Consequently, she has expanded her activism into Sanidad Pública Segur@, a citizen movement aiming to go beyond the labor claims of professionals and inform the public about how their working conditions directly impact patient care quality and safety.
