Almoradí Council has launched a €1,463,976 tender to carry out a full refurbishment and extension of a disused building at the town’s bus station. The site will become a new Children and Adolescent Mental Health Day Hospital, strengthening specialist care in the municipality and across the Vega Baja comarca.

The project has an expected completion period of nine months. The council will transfer the finished facility to the Generalitat Valenciana, allowing it to operate as part of the public health network while the bus station continues its normal services.

The new centre will include administrative offices, consultation rooms, group therapy and occupational workshop spaces, as well as nursing control and support areas. Medical, nursing, psychology and psychiatry services will be provided, alongside dedicated staff.

Councillors say the hospital forms part of the regional Health Department’s plan to create 30 mental health day centres, one in each comarca. Almoradí has been selected for the Vega Baja due to its accessibility and strategic location, reinforcing its role as a key provider of socio‑sanitary services in the south of Alicante province.
