The Ministry of Health has established the monitoring commission for the agreement signed with the National Social Security Institute (INSS) and collaborating mutual insurance companies to improve the management of temporary incapacity and healthcare in cases of traumatological injuries. In this first session, the care pathway has been defined, which will allow patients to be referred from the Health Service to the mutual insurance companies with the aim of speeding up diagnostic tests and therapeutic and rehabilitation treatments.

The Official College of Physicians of the Balearic Islands (COMIB) has published a study on the state of private healthcare in the Balearic Islands, which reveals a persistent discontent among professionals in the sector. According to the organization's president, Carles Recasens, the initiative arose from complaints that doctors working in the private sector have been making for a long time regarding the conditions and treatment they receive from insurance companies. In the Balearic Islands, there are approximately 3,000 doctors working in private healthcare, a figure that represents nearly 50% of the medical community. The survey conducted by COMIB was answered by 236 members. Of these, only 9 practice exclusively in the public healthcare system; 111 offer mixed care—public and private—and 111 work solely in the private sector. The results paint a clear picture: 123 of those surveyed believe that the private healthcare system is not sustainable under the current conditions. 90% say that insurance companies do not promote quality of care; 87% rate the applied rates as bad or very bad; 85% denounce the negative impact of the model low cost77.9% reported being dissatisfied or very dissatisfied with the situation. None of the participants rated the doctor-insurer relationship as sufficient.

This Saturday at noon, weather permitting, Palma's Plaça d'Espanya will host a rally in defense of public healthcare and against privatization, jointly organized by the UGT and CCOO unions and the Federation of Associations for the Defense of Public Healthcare. The three organizations are calling on citizens to mobilize "in the face of the growing privatization and deterioration of the Balearic healthcare system," which they assert is jeopardizing the universality and quality of care. According to family physician José Manuel Aranda, a member of the Federation of Associations for the Defense of Public Healthcare, the Balearic Islands are currently the third autonomous community with the highest degree of healthcare privatization, only behind the Canary Islands and Madrid. Aranda warns that "9.1% of the Health Department's budget is allocated to agreements with private providers, while only 12.1% reaches primary care," a figure he considers "a clear example of the imbalance of a model that transfers public funds to private businesses while stifling the foundation of the system."
