The La Loma Health Centre in Torrevieja has raised serious concerns due to its deteriorating infrastructure. According to the CCOO union, weeks ago, debris fell from the ceiling in the urgent care waiting area, prompting a shutdown of the space, which is vital for primary healthcare.

The centre, located on Calle Virgen del Mar, has suffered from neglect, with outdated furniture, poor quality break areas, and ineffective climate control systems that compromise patient well-being and healthcare workers’ conditions. CCOO has urged for the immediate prioritisation of repair work to ensure a dignified and safe space for all users and staff.

In November of twenty twenty-one, following the reversion of the department, the Conselleria de Sanidad pledged thirty million euros for health infrastructure improvements until twenty twenty-four, including enhancements to La Loma. However, these promised upgrades remain unfulfilled, indicating a significant delay in obligations made by the government.

CCOO reaffirms its commitment to defending accessible public healthcare and calls on relevant authorities to act swiftly to ensure La Loma Health Centre receives the necessary improvements for providing adequate service to the Torrevieja community.
