Socialists yeclanos remember on this day that although more cases are detected fortunately, survival improves every year, through research and early detection programs implemented by the Public Health.

The PSOE Municipal Group Yecla and join the commemoration of the International Day Against Breast Cancer, remembering that is the leading cause of cancer death in women.

Each year, 22,000 women in Spain alone are diagnosed with breast cancer and this number is growing.

Fortunately, survival improves every year, through research and early detection programs implemented by the Public Health.

Review the performance of the portfolio of Public Health to impose a copayment on mammograms, and other tests to detect or prevent disease, can be a setback in the fight against breast cancer and other diseases.

Saving measures and control of public expenditure can not go against the quality of services and benefits to cancer patients.

The Socialists have promoted an initiative to keep mammograms as a basic benefit and to ensure free and equal access to screening tests for breast cancer for all women, which is indicated by age regardless of their administrative status in Spain.

We have also presented an initiative in the House of Representatives to return to the universal right to public health care and, second, to reconfigure the portfolio performance of NHS as a single portfolio without copayments.
