The president of the Cabildo de Tenerife, Peter Martinhas claimed to the Canary Islands Ministry of Health that take the corresponding administrative steps so that it puts out to tender “as soon as possible” the drafting of the project and execution of the expansion works of the Hospital del Norte.
This has been reported by the island’s top leader in a statement in which he adds that the objective is “to equate these facilities and their services to those that have already been announced for the Hospital del Sur.”
Martín insisted that the Cabildo “is at the disposal of the Government of the Canary Islands in everything that is required to promote the expansion of the Hospital del Norte”.
For this reason, he trusted that the tender “will be published in the shortest possible time so that companies interested in participating in this project can present their proposals as soon as possible and get this project off the ground.”
In addition, the president indicated that this week “we have adopted an important decision in the Cabildo to unblock the construction of a new socio-health center in La Orotava that will allow the elderly people who are in the Hospital del Norte to be transferred at the time and free up one of its floors, something that until now had not been possible because the municipal urban regulations prevented the residence from being built where it was planned”.
“The Cabildo de Tenerife has already solved it and now an old request from the La Orotava City Council can be met,” he observed.
He also recalled that Hospital del Norte “is a necessity and from the Cabildo de Tenerife we defend the expansion of its facilities and its portfolio of services so that it truly becomes a reference hospital for the entire population of the area”.
Finally, he pointed out that the installation is owned by the Cabildo de Tenerife, which assumes all the maintenance, water and electricity costs.
