Patients, staff and trade unions are continuing to demand that Benalmádena's local hospital be fully opened. They say that X-ray facilities and a children's unit are urgently needed as users have to make a 30-kilometre round trip in order to use the nearest hospital with these services.

According to nursing union, Satse, some 30 per cent of the building is still unoccupied and other services such as urology, eye care and dermatology are lacking.

The Costa del Sol Hospital in Marbella, which is responsible for the Benalmádena facility as well, says that it is working efficiently and offering the services that it was created for.
