Castilla-La Mancha Reinforces Healthcare Research with New Structure

In a significant move, the Government of Castilla-La Mancha has announced the creation of a regional structure to boost healthcare research. The announcement was made today in Guadalajara by Iñigo Cortázar, the Director General of Human Resources and Transformation of SESCAM.

The new structure aims to make Castilla-La Mancha an attractive pole for researchers and a pole of excellence in the research field. It will coordinate research and administrative careers, providing uniformity to the contracts of research personnel and facilitating their participation in selection processes and transfers.

The regional healthcare research structure includes the creation of expert networks, defined categories of research personnel, and a government commitment to integrating health research with regional healthcare services. The regional health service, SESCAM, under the Consejería de Salud y Bienestar Social, coordinates health provision and is linked to research activities through universities such as the University of Castilla-La Mancha (UCLM).

Although direct details on an expert network and research personnel categories specific to Castilla-La Mancha's healthcare research are not explicitly outlined, the presence of federally funded investigation groups (e.g., FEDER-supported groups at UCLM) and research publications involving Castilla-La Mancha institutions imply an organized research structure involving expert collaborations and categorized research staff.

The creation of these categories is intended to provide stability and professional development to researchers. The new network of experts will be coordinated by Dr. Olga Mediano San Andrés, a pneumologist at the Hospital Universitario de Guadalajara and a recognized researcher.

The network of experts will have a board of directors and an advisory committee of professionals from various SESCAM management areas and the Institute of Health Research of Castilla-La Mancha. The objective is to reinforce and support the research of regional healthcare professionals.

This structure is part of the Government of Castilla-La Mancha's push for stability and the work of regional research professionals. The creation of a network of experts and the creation of professional categories in the field of research are the next steps towards having a powerful regional structure that supports research activity.

The timeline for the creation of the regional network of experts and the statutory categories of research personnel is not yet clear. However, Iñigo Cortázar recalled the government's commitment to create statutory categories of research personnel, which will constitute a significant step towards reinforcing and articulating a regional structure that supports research activity.

The new structure also includes the collaboration with the Institute of Health Research of Castilla-La Mancha. This collaboration is expected to further strengthen the regional healthcare research capabilities and contribute to the development of innovative solutions for regional health priorities.

In the meeting held in Guadalajara, Iñigo Cortázar met with Olga Mediano, the director general of the Integrated Area of Guadalajara, Elena Martín Ruiz, the delegate of the Junta in Guadalajara, Rosa María García Ruiz, and the provincial delegate of Health, Pilar Cuevas Henche. The announcement marks a significant step forward in Castilla-La Mancha's commitment to advancing healthcare research and improving regional health services.

  1. The regional healthcare research structure in Castilla-La Mancha, which coordinating with the Institute of Health Research, aims to foster innovation and develop solutions for medical-conditions, contributing to the health-and-wellness of the region's residents.
  2. In addition to the creation of expert networks and research personnel categories, the new structure also plans to collaborate with science-related fields to drive advancements in healthcare, merging fashion sensibilities with medical equipment design for improved patient care.
