The Cabildo of Lanzarote has approved the call and the rules for the competition-opposition system for the creation of a medical position that will become a reserve list for temporary hiring of Labor Personnel.
This call has been published in the Official Bulletin of the Province of Las Palmas last Friday, January 19, and the deadline for submitting applications to participate in the selection process will be ten business days from the day following the publication of this announcement. To this end, the full text of the call will be inserted on the Cabildo's website and on the Notice Board of the electronic headquarters of the Island Corporation.
The new medical position is intended to provide services in the 'Addiction Care Network' of Lanzarote, as stated by the Minister of Health and Social Welfare, Marciano Acuña, who emphasizes that "with this new position we provide the Addiction Care Network of our island with a new doctor who will join the team of professionals currently working."
Acuña explains that this care network "is financed by the Island Council and the Ministry of Health of the Government of the Canary Islands, and has a complete therapeutic circuit consisting of a wide variety of centers and programs that allow offering comprehensive care to drug addicts, people affected with any addiction problem and their respective families."
'Queen Sofía Award' for its excellent social work
The 'Addiction Care Network' of the island of Lanzarote obtained in 2007 the 'Queen Sofía Award for Social Work', an award that constitutes one of the most important distinctions at the national level in the action against the problems derived from drug use.
It should be remembered that the network is integrated by the 'Addiction Care Unit' (UAA), the 'Semi-Residential Addiction Care Unit' (USAA) and the 'Residential Addiction Care Unit' (URAA), all of them complemented with a maintenance program with methadone and legal, prevention and reintegration services for users.
