Mónica García Gómez (pronounced [ˈmonika ɣaɾˈθi.a]; born 16 January 1974) is a Spanish anesthesiologist and politician, currently serving as minister of health since 2023.
She started in politics in Podemos, being elected member of the Assembly of Madrid in the 2015 Madrilenian regional election and combining her political work with her job in health care, with a 50% reduction in working hours. García followed Íñigo Errejón to Más Madrid, being re-elected in the 2019 Madrilenian regional election. A year later she was elected co-spokesperson —one of the party's leaders— of Más Madrid.
In late 2023, she was appointed minister of health in the third government of Pedro Sánchez following the 2023 Spanish general election.
