Garcia made these statements during the visit of the Three Wise Men to the Son Llàtzer Hospital, where he explained that the public health service is prepared for a possible spike in infections.
In this regard, and given the forecast of an increase in the number of cases in the coming weeks, the councilor recalled that on January 12 will proceed to the opening of additional beds in both the Son Llàtzer Hospital and the Virgen de la Salud center, with the aim of strengthening the care capacity.
Controversy over the delivery room at Manacor Hospital
On the other hand, the regional head of Health has responded to the criticisms of the PSOE about an alleged closure of the delivery room of the Hospital de Manacor from January 19, claims that have been described as “gratuitous”.
According to García, no delivery room has been closed and he pointed out that the hospital currently has two gynecologists on duty in the afternoons, in addition to the fact that work is being done to maintain this care coverage.
