The Playa Honda Health Center is getting closer to becoming a reality and already has a preliminary draft, according to the mayor of the municipality, Isidro Pérez.
“It should be remembered that we have previously had to complete a complex administrative procedure, with the good relationship between the San Bartolomé City Council, the Government of the Canary Islands through the Ministry, the Insular Health Directorate and the Management of the Doctor José Molina Orosa Hospital being fundamental, in order to carry out this work and that the town of Playa Honda can have a Health Center as it deserves, according to the population of the town”, the mayor pointed out.
From the Consistory they detail that the Health Center will have a plot of 1,917 square meters, located on Fayna street, behind the Playa Honda Civic Center, and with an investment of close to 7 million euros. The building will have a basement, first and second floor.
On the ground floor there will be an administrative area, a pediatrics area, a physiotherapy area, an emergency room, and ordinary care rooms. On the other hand, on the upper floor there will be an area for family medicine, the women's area and the growth area, while the basement will have a storage and parking area.
From the City Council they recall that in September 2021 the “Ordinance for the Construction of the Playa Honda Health Center” was approved in plenary session. “San Bartolomé complied with the request of the General Directorate of Economic Resources of the Canary Islands Health Service, contemplating in the document the needs to be able to carry out the construction of the new center, modifying the current buildability of the plot, going from a social use of 1 square meter / 1 square meter to 1.5 square meters / 1.5 square meters, and the occupation from 50% to 75% to distribute the requested meters on the two floors”, they detail from the Consistory.
“With this, the needs raised by the Functional Plan that dictates the real needs of the Center according to the population were met at the time”, says the Councilor for Works, Raúl de León.
At the same time, work was carried out on the Plot Segregation Project, this condition being “essential to be able to start drafting the project and subsequent bidding”, insists the Councilor for Urban Planning and Health, Marlene Romero.
