Abstract
URBANOS, Rosa and GRUPO DE TRABAJO DE SESPAS SOBRE UNA FUTURA LEY ESTATAL DE SALUD PUBLICA. Suggestions for the upcoming public health law in Spain. Gac Sanit [online]. 2010, vol.24, n.1, pp.89-94. ISSN 0213-9111.
The upcoming public health law must serve as the basis for public health reform. The text of the law should allow public health structures to be modernized and adapted to the country's new needs. A broader concept of public health and a redefinition of its functions and basic services are required. Some of the main suggestions for the upcoming law are the establishment of a Spanish Agency for Public Health and a Public Health Council, the design of a Spanish Strategy of Public Health, and reform of professional training.
