Javier Peromingo

Javier Peromingo is a Spanish geriatrician known for his role in the healthcare system during the COVID-19 pandemic, particularly in relation to the management of nursing homes in Madrid. He served as the chief of geriatrics at the Rey Juan Carlos Hospital in Móstoles and was instrumental in developing triage protocols that prioritized care within residential facilities over hospitalizations. His actions during the crisis have come under scrutiny as he has recently been implicated in a judicial investigation regarding the handling of the pandemic's impact on elderly care, marking a significant moment in the ongoing legal proceedings surrounding the treatment of vulnerable populations during the health emergency.
