A back and forth from Madrid, Javier Padilla is a family and community doctor with training in the field of public health, health management and health economics. For years he was a co-author of the now-defunct Medico-Critic blog, and today he is part of the Silesian Collective, where he writes and agitates when and as much as possible. Padilla worked for a time as a parliamentary advisor to Marta Sibina when she was spokesperson for Health of En Comú Podem in the Congress of Deputies. In 2014 he began researching and writing about theories of justice and their application to the field of public health and social inequalities in health. He is a member of the national and regional group on health inequities of the Spanish Society of Family and Community Medicine. Padilla is a sporadic contributor to Agenda Pública and in various other journals in the field of family medicine and primary care. He is also co-coordinator of the book Salubrismo o barbarie (Dreamcatcher Publishing, 2107). For more than a decade, he has tried to mix typical elements of the debates on health and sanitation with less hegemonic aspects of the field of politics, philosophy or activism and social movements. Currently, he combines all this activity with a part-time job in a health center in the north of Madrid and, above all, with raising his daughter.
