The Spanish government has nationalized all of its hospitals and healthcare providers in the country in its latest move to combat the spread of the coronavirus.
The ministry of health in Pedro Sánchez’s government on Monday announced that it would put all of Spain’s private health providers and their facilities into public control as the spread of COVID-19 continues to grip the country.
The step was announced by Salvador Illa, Spain’s health minister, the Guardian reported.
Illa also said that fourth-year medical students in Spain would be asked to help the country’s health service, Politico reported, while companies capable of producing medical equipment should get in touch with the government.
Spain is one of the worst-affected countries outside of China and its government has taken a number of extraordinary steps in an attempt to combat the spread of coronavirus.
