Doctors against Privatization of Health Care Services

Government in Spain has decided to privatize healthcare services since the financial crisis is getting deepened with time. But, Spanish doctors as well as staff of public hospital are not in favour and have therefore planned to protest against the same, a recent report has uncovered.

It is being said that they would hold a strike that would go long for two days in Madrid. A proof of the same was there to be seen on Monday, the report says. The Spanish capital's few hospital services were only operating on the day.

The reason behind the same was the outrage of the doctors, who gathered in crowds wearing white-coloured coats. They were holding demonstrations outside a large number of hospices so as to show their discontent with the decisions taken by the government.

It is the opinion of the doctors that privatization would make public healthcare more a business rather than a service for people's care. Thus, they say that the reason expressed by the government is merely an excuse.

"The central government is already cutting spending. If in addition to that they privatize, it is to try and make healthcare profitable. We are against that", Madrid's major hospital's internal medicine specialist Cristina Diez was quoted as affirming.
