The Formentera Hospital expects to return to normality in its surgical area by the middle of this week, according to the Pitiusa Health Area. After detecting abnormal levels of microorganisms, which led to the preventive closure of these sectors, a comprehensive sanitization was carried out in the operating room and delivery room, and the most recent cultures have not found the presence of microorganisms. However, the laboratory recommends extreme caution and waiting ten days of culture before issuing a definitive report that will allow surgical activity to be resumed in complete safety. So far, the incident has forced the rescheduling of ten non-urgent and non-preferential surgical procedures, which will be resumed in the coming days. In addition, only one delivery has been referred to Can Misses Hospital, which took place early Saturday morning and was a normal delivery. The corrective measures implemented include the installation of a new air conditioning and ventilation system to ensure optimal conditions, as well as the reinforcement of protocols related to staff clothing and footwear. These actions are aimed at minimizing any possible contamination pathways and guaranteeing patient safety.
