Barcelona groups have warned that the city’s housing crisis could leave 259 families of patients without accommodation in 2025, putting them further from the hospitals they need to reach.
The alert comes from local associations in Barcelona, which say the lack of housing is already making it harder for some families to stay near medical care. That distance matters for people who need regular treatment, follow-up appointments, or quick access to hospital services.
The concern is not only about finding a roof over their heads, but also about keeping patients close to the health centres they rely on. In a city where housing pressure is already high, the groups say this could become a serious problem next year.
