The works of the new Health Center of Llano del Camello, in the municipality of San Miguel de Abona, have resumed after almost a year paralyzed due to a modification of the project. Operators and machines thus return to activity once the act has been signed to resume work by the technicians, the works management and the winning company.
The deadline for the completion of the new dependencies, long awaited by the residents of the aforementioned San Miguel nucleus and Las Chafiras, was initially scheduled for the end of 2020, so there is already a delay of more than a year.
The mayor of San Miguel de Abona, Arturo González, had repeatedly demanded that the Government of the Canary Islands speed up the procedures to resume the construction of the Llano del Camello Health Center as soon as possible, which will replace the current Las Chafiras clinic. The councilor recalls that it is a “key” work for the municipality and specifically for an area that has experienced considerable population growth in recent years.
In order that the necessary procedures for its opening are not further delayed, the City Council will assume all services related to telecommunications and water supply, in addition to “making available all the municipal resources that are in our hands”, indicates the Town Hall.
The building will have four family medicine clinics and as many nursing clinics, two pediatric clinics and two children’s clinics, with a waiting room and toilet. In addition, it will have a lactation room, an emergency room with a cardiopulmonary resuscitation room, a treatment room and a room for taking clinical samples, as well as a women’s care area with a midwife’s consultation and a maternity education room.
The works are being carried out on a 3,700-square-meter plot ceded by the city council on Lucio Díaz Flores Avenue and are being carried out by the company Proyecon Galicia. Its initial budget is 1,818,898 euros.
