Speaking during the award ceremony García spoke of how the hospital Costa del Sol team had helped with the achievement. He stressed that during the ongoing pandemic: “In the COVID period you have shown an admirable style, professional commitment and capacity for dedication”.
“I want them to know that now our collective commitment is to use the upcoming expansion of the hospital to project ourselves into the future and make the hospital a leading centre of reference in Andalusia and Spain, which is nothing more and nothing less than what this city and the entire Costa del Sol deserves”,
He also went on to explain that Marbella will come through the other side of the pandemic “stronger than ever thanks to the energy and initiative of its people”.
