Fuerteventura's linear accelerator will come into operation "immediately".
The president of the Canary Islands, Ángel Víctor Torres, and the Minister of Health, Blas Trujillo, visited this morning the works of the new care building attached to the Juan Carlos I Hospital, in Las Palmas de Gran Canaria, which will increase the number of beds by 90, the largest increase made in the last 10 years. There, the president has advanced that the linear accelerator of Fuerteventura has already been definitively calibrated so that, immediately, it will enter into operation. "It is the first time that on a non-capital island these treatments can be received, thanks to an infrastructure that is committed to improving health, health, and we do it from the public," he added.
During the visit to the works of the new healthcare building attached to the Juan Carlos I Hospital, they were accompanied by the director of the Canary Islands Health Service (SCS), Conrado Domínguez, and the managers of the university hospitals of Gran Canaria Dr. Negrín and Insular, Pedro Rodríguez and Alejandra Torres, respectively.
The construction work, which also included the demolition of the old buildings that were on the plot and the connection with the central building, involved an investment of 14.5 million euros, which includes more than 1.5 million euros corresponding to the provision of basic technical equipment.
This new building, which has 5,155 square meters distributed over four floors, will provide the University Hospital Complex of Gran Canaria Dr. Negrín with 90 new beds for hospitalizations of more than 24 hours of a multipurpose nature, which will allow, if necessary, to convert a part to Intensive Care beds. The new sanitary facility also has nine consultations and five offices. in addition to an area of admission, training and medical and nursing work, as well as laboratory, Radiology area, warehouses, hospitality and maintenance services.
In the design of the building, the possibility of sectorizing the space in different hospital areas has been taken into account according to the characteristics of the patients who have to be treated at all times in order to give it a versatile character. The concept meets the objective for which this building has been designed, which aims to respond to health care that arises from emerging diseases, as in the case of COVID-19, without the need to have an impact on the rest of the health infrastructures abruptly.
In today's visit it was revealed that this is the first public hospital in the Canary Islands where photovoltaic energy equipment has been installed on the roofs for energy self-consumption, thus complying with the sustainability criteria that from now on will be promoted with the Sustainable Energy Strategy of the Canary Islands (466 million euros) to continue with this type of installations in public buildings.
The largest increase in beds in ten years
This project includes, in addition to the building on the grounds of the Juan Carlos I Hospital, three other hospital infrastructures in the health areas of Tenerife and Lanzarote. "In total, when all the contemplated works are completed, 342 hospital beds will be added in the same year, which represents the largest increase in public beds in the last decade. These infrastructures will serve to strengthen hospital care, which will contribute to the recovery of the care activity that has been lost during the pandemic," explained the president of the Canary Islands, Ángel Víctor Torres.
These four projects will involve, together, the creation of 15,800 new square meters of healthcare area, which will be equipped with the equipment and technical means necessary to enter into operation at the end of the works, which will require a public investment of 47,3000,200 euros.
In addition, the Minister of Health, Blas Trujillo, recalled that "these works seek to maintain and strengthen the care capacity in each of these islands and, in addition, recover the ordinary health activity that is being affected by the pandemic and simultaneously with the attention to the infection by COVID-19, as well as to improve the response to future epidemic outbreaks".
Since the beginning of the pandemic, the public hospitals of the SCS and, in particular, those of the Health Areas of Gran Canaria, Lanzarote and Tenerife, have occupied a large part of their beds by patients with Coronavirus. Thus, given the insufficiency of physical spaces to meet the growing pressure of care caused by SARS-CoV-2 infections, it was decided to enable alternative spaces on a temporary basis that has impacted on practically all the ordinary activity of hospitals. The construction of these new hospital buildings seeks, therefore, to normalize the care activity in the short term.
The declaration of emergency of these actions responds to the urgent need to expand the physical and technical capacity of hospitals that have endured greater care pressure since the beginning of the pandemic.

Cancer patients can, from today (Weds), be treated in Fuerteventura.
The Health Area of Fuerteventura, attached to the Ministry of Health of the Government of the Canary Islands, begins today, Wednesday, June 29, the activity of the Radiation Oncology unit of the General Hospital, which will allow cancer patients on the island to receive their treatments without having to travel to Gran Canaria. With the start-up of the linear accelerator, the historical demand for Fuerteventura to have a unit for the treatment of cancer is met.
With the implementation of this service, patients who require radiotherapy treatment are prevented from having to move to the University Hospital of Gran Canaria Dr. Negrín, which positively results in the care received and, therefore, improves their quality of life and comfort. In addition, it will allow not only to bring the treatment closer but to continue with the integral attention to oncological patients of Fuerteventura.
The entry into operation of this unit is carried out once the process of calibration and accreditation of the linear accelerator by the Nuclear Safety Council (CSN) has been completed.
As a previous step to the start of the activity of this unit, since Last June 13 the Majorero hospital center is carrying out the medical consultations of follow-up of the oncological patients of the island. In this way, patients are treated at the General Hospital of Fuerteventura by the same professionals who had been treated in Gran Canaria and following the same guidelines they had until now.
Bunker and linear accelerator
The acquisition, installation and maintenance of the linear accelerator of the General Hospital of Fuerteventura represented an amount of 4.3 million euros, financed with European funds NextGeneration through the InVeat Plan that has been agreed by the Ministry of Health with the autonomous communities to reduce the obsolescence of the technological park of the National Health System and by the European Regional Development Fund (ERDF), within axis 9, of the Canary Islands Operational Program 2014-2021.
During these months after completing the installation of the linear accelerator, the adjustment and calibration works of this high-tech equipment have been developed to be able to offer the treatments in a safe and effective way.
Radiation Oncology
Radiation therapy is part of the multidisciplinary treatment of cancer, being used in up to 70 percent of patients who suffer from it. Radiation therapy treatment includes, in addition to external radiation therapy, other techniques such as brachytherapy and intraoperative radiation therapy, which can be used alone or in combination.
The integration of this new equipment in the Radiation Oncology service will allow patients to offer all the resources and experience accumulated during the years of scientific evidence in this field.
For the director of the Health Area of Fuerteventura, Sandra Celis, and the manager of the Health Services, José Luis Rodríguez, the entry into operation of this unit represents a qualitative leap in the benefits offered to the citizens of Majorca, since cancer patients will receive their radiotherapy treatments on the island itself, improving their comfort and that of their families, at the same time that it represents an important advance in the portfolio of services of the Health Area.
