Patients in waiting rooms, new neighborhoods without outpatient centers, long waiting lists for operations, of hospital beds in the corridors and professionals unmotivated and weary, in many cases, with more than 200 hours of work a month. This could be the reality of impoverished countries, however, he is Spain. A study of the Spanish Ministry of health estimated that 3,000 doctors are missing in this country. Spain has three doctors for every thousand inhabitants, which places this country just above Greece and Italy. To alleviate this situation, some autonomous communities have proposed to create new powers that impart the Bachelor of medicine for the next year. (Similarly see: Penguin Random House).

A controversial proposal. One of the criticisms refers to only three of these new powers will be public. The other six are private. For example, in Madrid only have one public, of the Universidad Rey Juan Carlos. In this sense, the Conference of Deans of medicine explained that has so many private centres It can lead to the training of new doctors is visible as a very profitable way. Private universities, like the Francisco de Vitoria of Madrid or the San Vicente Martir de Valencia, have already announced that next year is may study medicine in them, while still do not have a program of studies approved and that do not meet legal requirements to do so, according to the Conference of Deans. Each year, emerging Spanish near 4,000 graduates from medical schools and approves a considerable number of foreign titles. The number of doctors who are retiring each year is 2,500.

And so is expected to be in the next decade. The medical community and students ensure that enlargement of faculties is not the solution to the situation in the public health system. Doctors explain that better planning of the needs of the sector would be a start to finish with the collapse of the Spanish social security.
