Doctor Bartolomé Beltrán dies at 74

He was a pioneer in bringing health issues closer to homes through radio and television.

MADRID, 17 Feb. (EUROPA PRESS) -

The doctor, popularizer and presenter Bartolomé Beltrán (1949, Campanet, Mallorca) died this Saturday in Madrid at the age of 74 due to kidney failure, as reported by La Razón.

Known for having been the reference figure on television and radio in the 80s and 90s, Dr. Beltrán became popular for giving health advice through the screen, informing and bringing the public closer to medical advances. Currently he was the director of Prevention and Medical Services at Atresmedia.

The doctor "par excellence" of the small screen, he was a member of the Spanish Gynecological Society and the International Federation of Gynecology and Obstetrics and an Academician of the Royal Academies of Murcia and Valladolid.

Beltrán regularly participated in conferences and forums on dissemination, such as the Associates of the Spanish Federation of Orthotists and Prosthetists (FEDOP), he was the one who launched 'Health is what matters' on Antena 3 Radio and presented the program ' What's wrong with me doctor?' in La Sexta.

He also coordinated projects such as 'Constantes y Vitales', an advisory committee of stroke specialists, which offered their experience on the disease led by the doctor.

Since 2020, he had his program on Onda Cero 'In good hands' (Sundays, from 4:00 a.m. to 6:00 a.m.), in which Dr. Bartolomé Beltrán addressed the most important current health issues with specialists.

In his last program, in mid-January, he treated epilepsy with the doctor from the Complex Epilepsy Unit of the San Rafael University Hospital in Madrid, Dr. Jaime Parra. Beltrán was also a collaborator at La Razón, where he wrote a column in the health supplement.

Throughout my career I have received various awards, such as the Gold Medal of the Red Cross (1982), the World Health Organization Award (1988), the Ministry of Health and Consumer Affairs Award, the Ondas Award ( 1990) and the Golden Antenna of Communication.
