[HIGHLIGHTS] The “Achilles heel” of healthcare is mental health

Mental health is the big gap in this health inequity, according to a study presented this Thursday. The Economic and Social Council (CES) also points to cancer or emergency care.

The cost of mental health problems in Spain is 4.2% of GDP. Digitalization and other factors contribute to the inequity of health and emergency care, the study says. The CES points out that one of the most important changes in Primary Care is the advance of telemedicine in recent years.
