The strategy of the Ministry of Health has always had a commitment to innovation in all processes and systems. Now more than ever, with an increasingly aging population, we need to follow the path of what has already been done with the continuity of the existing lines of action and with new ones, strengthening public healthcare, continuing with the digital transformation of Primary Care, and strengthening and renewing technologies, infraestructures and systems to empower citizens and improve care processes. All this while being aware that innovation is multidisciplinary and that without well prepared teams, innovations have little viability.
