Laviada, Deputy General Director of Prevention, Quality and Communication of Fraternidad-Muprespa, took the floor to put into effect value the fundamental role of Collaborating Mutual Insurance Companies with Social Security, in this year in which 125 years have passed since their creation.
He highlighted that since 1967 they began to operate as they do today, and that the 18 that currently exist, integrated into the state public sector of an administrative nature, carry out a very relevant work for society. He highlighted:
Although we have been working for occupational health for more than a century, we continue to be little known to many, even though 98% of Spanish companies are with a mutual professional contingency, and 81% are in common contingency.
He also explained that they manage workers' social insurance contributions, seeking to save public funds and reduce the economic impact of sick leave due to occupational illness or work accident.
Mar Morales, director of Prevention and Health Culture of Fraternidad-Muprespa, focused her words on the need to convey to society lhe importance of preventive culture in a country with a majority of SMEs, 98% of the Spanish business fabric.
"We have a lot of documentation, but a preventive culture that can be improved. For security to be authentic, it has to be exercised on a daily basis" He highlighted, and then added that sectors such as construction and agriculture continue to lead the accident rates.
Morales explained the importance of a new strategy based on success stories and practical tools, using process maps to identify starting points and visualize the path to change, which involves the important role of middle management.

Esteban Mate, Deputy Director General of Management of Fraternidad-Muprespa, spoke last and presented the care model that the Mutua has consolidated in recent years, focused on three pillars for patients: trust, security and comfort.
Not all patients are the same or need the same thing. That is why we have designed an adaptive model, with specialized units and professionals with proven clinical experience.
