Andalusia honours the radiology chief it blames for the screening crisis
La Junta de Andalucía otorga el mayor galardón de calidad al servicio de radiodiagnóstico al que culpa de la crisis de los cribados
Summary
The regional government of Andalusia has awarded its highest quality certification to the radiodiagnostics department whose head, Javier Castell, it simultaneously blames for the collapse of the region's cancer screening programme. The contradiction has drawn sharp attention, as Castell received the "Excellent" quality certificate even as the Andalusian president accused him of bypassing established protocols. The case highlights a deepening institutional controversy over accountability within the regional health system.
