ARCHIVED - New Playa Honda medical centre to be completed in 5 months
Local consultancy to reopen for residents of Playa Honda, Playa Paraíso and Villas Caravaning
The Town Hall of Cartagena has awarded the contract to complete a new local medical centre and social centre in Playa Honda at the southern end of the Mar Menor, and the facility is expected to be brought into service during the autumn.
The building which is being reformed in order to provide these services occupies a floor area of 368 square metres and the work has been contracted at a cost of precisely 231.392.87 euros, the Town Hall reports: once finished, the medical centre will include an entrance lobby, and administration area, various medical and nursing consultancy rooms, waiting rooms and toilets.
Alongside, the social centre will include a multi-use hall as well as other functional rooms.
The contract specifies that the work will be completed within 5 months, and in presenting the project to residents Mayoress Ana Belén Castejón thanked them for their patience: as long ago as 2016 two councillors visited the previous medical centre of Playa Honda after it had been closed as part of their efforts to find a way to re-open the facility, and Francisco Calderón stated that the intention was for the centre to be reopened as soon as possible.
The reason given for the medical centre of Playa Honda closing was that it was simply too small, but this left some 600 residents of the southern coast of the Mar Menor in Playa Honda, Playa Paraíso and Villas Caravaning without a local health clinic. Instead they had to travel to the Centro de Salud Costa Cálida in La Manga del Mar Menor, meaning a long and at times inconvenient trip for those needing to see a doctor.
