The Hospitalization Unit of Surgical Specialties of the General Hospital of Fuerteventura comes into operation.
The Management of Health Services of the Fuerteventura Health Area, attached to the Ministry of Health of the Government of the Canary Islands, informs of the launch this Monday, February 5, of the new Hospitalization Unit of Surgical Specialties of the General Hospital of Fuerteventura.
With the entry into operation of this new unit, the increase in surgical activity is covered, on the one hand, and on the other hand, the patients admitted to the Majorero hospital as a result of the approach plans to reduce waiting lists. For the start-up of the new unit, 18 professionals have been hired, of which thirteen are Nurses and eight Auxiliary Nursing Care technicians.
The new Surgical Specialities Hospitalisation Unit begins its activity today with an initial provision of 17 beds, out of the maximum 34 available, and the rest of the beds will be progressively incorporated according to demand.
From today, patients who have undergone surgery in the specialty of Traumatology will be admitted to this floor. In addition, it will make more resources available for Major Ambulatory Surgery interventions (Surgical Day Hospital), to which 6 of the 17 beds that can be used for this type of short-stay hospitalization (less than 24 hours) of any other specialty in the surgical area will be allocated.
The director of the Fuerteventura Health Area, Tomás Pérez, recalls that this space had been closed since 2019 when the expansion works of the Fuerteventura hospital were completed and it was the only area that had not been made available to the population of all those created in these actions completed in 2019. "The entry into operation of this unit responds to a demand from Majorero society and represents a new advance in the quality of the services provided to the citizens of the island," says Pérez.
For his part, the manager of the island's Health Services, Javier Suleimán, says that "this new resource represents an increase of 9.8 percent in the total number of hospital beds, as it goes from 172 to 189 beds, which allows the number of beds in surgical specialties to increase by 41.4 percent."
