Health Professionals Unite Against Discrimination
A total of 840 health professionals, including doctors, nurses, psychologists, social workers, and diagnostic technicians, have signed an open letter protesting the recent changes to the Health Basic Law. This amendment, approved last week in the Assembly of the Republic, restricts irregular migrants from accessing public health care services.
The professionals argue that this change is discriminatory and undermines the principles of equality and access to healthcare for all, regardless of their immigration status. They are considering civil disobedience as a means to oppose this legislation, emphasizing the importance of health care as a fundamental right.
The letter highlights the collective stance of these professionals, who believe that health care should be available to everyone, and they are prepared to act against what they see as an unjust law.
