In 2019 work began on the Llano del Camello Health Center. Some necessary and highly demanded works that were carried out on a plot of 3,700 square meters donated by the San Miguel de Abona City Council to the Ministry of Health of the Government of the Canary Islands with the aim of expanding and offering a better service to the citizenship, since the current Las Chafiras Clinic is insufficient given the evident increase in population in recent years.
Some works that, as explained by the mayor of the municipality, Arturo González, “were suspended when the state of alarm was decreed motivated by COVID-19, since the confinement meant that no further progress could be made.” However, the first mayor explains that “after the works were resumed in 2020, they were suspended again for technical and administrative reasons that do not depend on our city council, since they have made a modification of the project, which in turn has a new procedure that he has to accept the company, without the Ministry having given us clear information on when it is planned to resume them ”.
The San Miguel president urges, once again, the Ministry to “expedite the procedures to resume the works as soon as possible, understanding that the Llano del Camello Health Center would have to be finished in the month of December; however, the current situation means that we now depend on when the works will resume, without having a clear completion date ”.
The City Council of San Miguel continues to work and insist that the work begins to move again and that the Llano del Camello Health Center, financed with European Funds, is, finally, a fact, as promised to the sanmigueleros.
González did not want to influence that the same company awarded by the Government of the Canary Islands (Proyecon) is the same one that has not completed the works at the Guaza institute.
