The Health Ministry is summoning the autonomous communities on Monday to send vaccines to Ceuta.
The Ministry of Mónica García, which will send a delegation to the city, wants to send vaccines against chickenpox, polio, tetanus or diphtheria.
A delegation from Spain's Ministry of Health, led by Secretary of State for Health Javier Padilla, will visit Ceuta next week to assess the impact of the migration crisis on the city's hospital and primary care services. The Ministry has also called an extraordinary meeting of the Public Health Commission for Monday to discuss vaccine supplies in Ceuta, aiming to activate a solidarity mechanism for other regions to send vaccines to the city.
The meeting was prompted by the arrival of thousands of people from Morocco, and the city's health situation has been under scrutiny due to reported cases of diseases such as gastroenteritis, scabies, and tuberculosis. The Public Health Commission meeting will be held remotely at 12:00 PM.
