Costa health centres under pressure

from Typicall Spanish

Health centres along the Costa del Sol are among those with the busiest accident and emergency departments in Andalucia.

Doctors see as many as 600,000 people each year, both in the health centres and in home visits, and now the CCOO union is demanding more personnel.

The busiest centre is in Las Lagunas in Mijas Costa where as many as 450 emergency cases are seen each day.

The SAS Andalucian Health Service say that resources will be increased in the area. They are promising that the coast will see nine new doctors and nine new nurses, together with the purchase of three new ambulances to be used for emergency calls.
