Answer

What role do doctors and social services play in avoiding lonely deaths in Mallorca?

Doctors and social services can be important early contact points for older or vulnerable people living alone. If communication between them is better, warning signs may be noticed sooner, while still respecting privacy rules. The goal is not to monitor people constantly, but to avoid long periods without any contact at all.
