The works of the new Health Center of Llano del Camelloin the municipality of San Miguel de Abona, are “practically finished” after accumulating a delay of almost two years due to the pandemic and the modification of the project requested by the construction company, Proyecon Galicia SA When the work was awarded, budgeted initially at 1,818,898 euros, it was expected to conclude by the end of 2020.
The building, which occupies a plot of 3,700 square meters ceded by the City Council on Lucio Díaz Flores Avenue, is apparently completed and the logos of the Canary Health Service are already on its façade.
These are facilities highly demanded by the City Council and the residents of the area that will replace the current medical office of Las Chafiras, located next to the Farmer’s Market, which does not meet the most appropriate conditions due to lack of space and means. The mayor of San Miguel de Abona, Arturo González, confirmed yesterday to this newspaper that the works are “practically finished”, although he recalled that after a “considerable delay”.
The municipal councilor asks the Ministry of Health to “expedite as much as possible” its opening to the public and provide this infrastructure with the necessary equipment and personnel to start it up “as soon as possible”.
González insists that the entry into service of the new health center is “urgent”, because the conditions of the office next to the Farmer’s Market, just below the TF-1 highway, “are not appropriate to provide a service to a municipality that is in continuous growth and with a population that does not stop increasing”.
The building will have four family medicine surgeries and as many nursing surgeries, two pediatric surgeries and two child nursing surgeries, with a waiting room and toilet.
In addition, it will have a lactation room, an emergency area with a cardiopulmonary resuscitation room, a treatment room and a room for taking clinical samples, as well as care for women with a midwife’s consultation and a maternity education room.
