PAEDIATRIC wing in Malaga hospital completed after €500,000 investment

Renovations on the paediatric wing of the Mother and Baby Unit in Malaga hospital has been completed after an investment of more than half a million euro. The project involved the modernization of the facility overall, as well as renovating existing facilities to cater for children admitted to the hospital with respiratory infections.

President of the Board, Juanma Moreno and Minister of Health, Jesus Aguirre were given a tour of the new facilities on Friday, November 20 by the manager of the Regional Hospital, Maria del Mar Vazquez.

“A project that the professionals of this hospital have been asking for for years and that thanks to their vocation and sacrifice has become a reality,” said the regional president.

The facility which caters for around a thousand children a year also has a medical and surgical day hospital, as well as capacity for children’s chemotherapy treatments.

More than €300million euro has been made available for health services in the past two years; a figure which Moreno says is “unprecedented in the last decade.”

“It is the first time that 7% of GDP is allocated to this sector”, he said.
