The demonstration aims to secure 24/7 thrombectomy services at Joan XXIII Hospital. Currently, this essential procedure is only available during weekday business hours, forcing patients to be transferred to Barcelona at night or during weekends.

Organizers emphasize that time is a critical factor in stroke recovery. They argue that current delays caused by regional transfers increase the risk of permanent disability for patients in the Tarragona and Lleida areas.

By mobilizing the local community, these health advocacy groups hope to pressure the administration into providing the same level of specialized care available in other parts of the country, ensuring local treatment regardless of the time of day.
