The Council of Los Montesinos has actively participated in a demonstration called by the Platform for Public and Quality Health, aimed at demanding increased investment in the Torrevieja Health Department and its hospital. The local administration emphasised their commitment by providing land for the expansion of the medical consultation centre, highlighting the growing need due to the municipality’s population increase.

Despite these efforts, the Council reiterated that health competencies are exclusively under the jurisdiction of the Valencian Government. They stressed the importance of this government entity taking responsibility for planning and funding the expansion of the local health centre.

The local administration firmly stated, ‘Public health is a fundamental right and we must protect it.’ They conveyed their dedication to ensuring high-quality public services and expressed their intention to continue pressing the relevant authorities to address the needs of both the municipality and the entire Torrevieja Health Department.

The commitment shown by the Council of Los Montesinos reflects broader concerns regarding public health services in the region, as stakeholders seek to improve healthcare accessibility and quality in response to demographic changes.
