Health Minister Manuela García has defended this Tuesday that the Hospital de Manacor is going through a process of change and reinforcement “unprecedented” both in the care setting and in the structural sphere.
During Tuesday’s session of the Parlament, García responded to the PSIB deputy Patricia Gómez, who referred to the concern of the Dones de Llevant collective regarding the situation of the hospital center.
The deputy stated that up to 60 entities have joined the collective’s complaint about the hospital’s situation and censured the “clear intention” to privatize and the lack of doctors.
In response to these criticisms, the consellera referred to the master plan, which contemplates a total investment of 60 million euros, and emphasized that the new outpatient consultations building and the new day hospital have already been realized.
Regarding human resources, she emphasized that the overall workforce has grown by 17 percent, with 232 additional professionals, including 26 more specialist doctors compared to the previous Govern. She also highlighted the incorporation of five midwives and the firm commitment to strengthening care capacity and consolidating stable teams with high qualifications.
She also added that the hospital has managed to increase both its ordinary and extraordinary activity.
