The Government Council of the Canary Islands authorized this Thursday the Ministry of Health to spend 34,113,043.80 euros in the acquisition of a supply of implantable pacemakers, electrodes, defibrillators and Holter monitors to supply the needs of the Cardiology services of the hospitals of the Canary Islands Health Service.

The amount of the expense has been calculated taking into account the consumption forecasts for these devices by the SCS hospitals during this period, at a rate of 8,719,114.80 euros, at the Dr. Negrín University Hospital of Gran Canaria; 8,221,171.60 euros, at the Nuestra Señora de Candelaria University Hospital; 6,825,552.50 euros, in the Insular-Maternal and Child University Hospital Complex; 6,383,837.00 euros, in the University Hospital Complex of the Canary Islands; 1,894,427.50 euros, in the Sanitary Services Management of Lanzarote; 1,380,848.90 euros, in the Sanitary Services Management Area of La Palma, and 688,091.50 euros, in the Sanitary Services Management of Fuerteventura, collects a note from the Government.
Centralized purchases contribute significantly to rationalizing and improving the efficiency of the supply processes of the SCS health centers, while allowing a reduction in prices derived from economies of scale and rationalizing the human resources that are allocated to the processing, for each SCS Management, of the purchase and billing files.
