Change at IB‑Salut: Why the e-prescription stalls on weekends — and what's missing now

Answer

Why did IB-Salut's e-prescription system stop working on weekends in Mallorca?

The system was migrated over the weekend, and during that transition pharmacies could not dispense medicines in the usual digital way through the health card. Paper prescriptions were kept as an emergency fallback, but the change still disrupted normal pharmacy service. The problem was less about the idea of digital prescriptions and more about how the switch was managed.
