Jordi Guirado, Vox Councillor in Sant Cugat del Vallès, called for political unity on Friday, February 6, 2026, to ensure the construction of a local public hospital capable of long-term patient admission.

Writing in an opinion piece, Jordi Guirado highlighted the universal vulnerability exposed by illnesses like cancer, which affect people regardless of wealth or status. This reality, he argues, demands a strong and unified political response.
The politician stressed the importance of research and maintaining a "strong and efficient" public healthcare system. However, his core demand focuses on ensuring healthcare proximity so that distance does not become an added burden for patients' families.

We should work from political unity to ensure that a public hospital is built in Sant Cugat with real capacity to accommodate long-term inpatients, interventions requiring hospitalization, and treatments that require patients to spend days admitted.

Guirado made an "appeal for collective responsibility," insisting that health issues cannot wait for administrative decisions or be subject to ideological debates. He concluded by reiterating his party's commitment to defending the well-being and peace of mind of the families they represent.
