Last Tuesday, January 9, Dr. Josep Mª Mercadé, family doctor and director of the Primary Care Centers of St. Cugat, was invited by the radio Cugat.cat to talk about the incidence of influenza among the population santcugatenca.

One week after the epidemic situation was decreed, Dr. Mercadé explained that fruit of the higher demand registered in the various CAPs of the city have made some organizational changes to deal with it and in this sense it has opted to reduce the volume of the programmed activity and to increase the attention activity to the spontaneous visits.



Despite these adjustments, Dr. Mercadé says that at certain times patients have to wait but that it is a circumstance that is given strictly "for work tips". Asked about the groups that suffer a more direct affectation, he explains that they are usually children and elderly people and / or with chronic diseases and often without vaccination.
