The Department of Health of the Government of the Canary Islands continues to make progress in improving the health infrastructure of Fuerteventura with several strategic projects that seek to strengthen healthcare and adapt the centers to the current needs of the population. During an appearance before the Health Commission of the Parliament of the Canary Islands, counselor Esther Monzón highlighted that the island is part of the set of actions planned for the non-capital islands, within a planning aimed at reducing territorial inequalities and modernizing the health network. Among the main initiatives for Fuerteventura is the expansion of the Gran Tarajal Health Center, which already has an updated functional plan and will be able to reach an area of 4,762 square meters. In addition, the tender for the new areas of Mental Health and Physiotherapy is planned, with the aim of expanding the portfolio of services provided in this municipality. Another ongoing project affects the local Costa Calma clinic, whose expansion project is currently in the review phase to incorporate a hemodialysis service, an improvement that would prevent travel for many patients in the south of the island. Likewise, the Ministry is working on the implementation of a new Continuous Emergency Care Point in the Antigua Health Center, reinforcing the care capacity and health response in this area of the municipality. Counselor Esther Monzón explained that these actions are part of a global strategy to renew and modernize health infrastructure in non-capital islands, guaranteeing more accessible, functional facilities adapted to the needs of professionals and users. According to him, the objective of the Government of the Canary Islands is to continue advancing towards quality health care, reducing the differences derived from double insularity and offering services that are increasingly closer to citizens.
