MADRID: Spain’s Health Minister Mónica García has a plan to fix the country’s healthcare system: stop private companies from running public hospitals.

“I won’t tell anyone how to spend their own money,” Garcia said. “But public funds must be invested in healthcare – not in the profit margins of private companies,” she said in reference to an upcoming bill that seeks to ban private operators from managing public hospitals.
