Recently, many women in Andalusia, Spain, have been affected by delays in breast cancer screening results.
A woman named Purificación's family only received a notice for a follow-up examination three months after she passed away.
Cases like hers are not uncommon.
Because the government has handed many medical services over to private companies, there are fewer doctors in public hospitals, causing many women's test results to be delayed by a year or even longer.
This has made many people very angry, and they have taken to the streets to protest.
People believe that health should not be just for making money; everyone should have equal access to medical care.
Spain's public healthcare system originally allowed more people to receive good care, but now, due to reduced funding and privatization, many worry the future will be worse.
This problem is not only happening in Spain but also in other countries.
Everyone hopes the government can protect public healthcare so that everyone can get timely help.
