San Pedro gets new five-million-euro health centre after 20-year wait

This facility, which "is five times bigger", covers an area of 5,500 square metres and has 40 new consulting rooms. It will also offer specialist treatments in areas such as mental health, retinography, rehabilitation, spirometry, maternal education, dentistry, mammography and even minor surgery, Ángeles Muñoz explained.

With this portfolio of services, residents of San Pedro will no longer have to travel to other centres for certain service, she said.

Juanma Moreno highlighted that this health facility, which has seen a five million euro investment, represents a "great leap forward in terms of quality and quantity, but also in terms of service provision". Moreno explained that the number of family doctor consultation rooms alone has increased from 11 to 24; from two to six in paediatrics; and from three to 13 in nursing; with two floors, a loading and unloading area, and a car park.

Moreno referred to "the firm determination of the regional government to update and improve the public health system". He pointed out that in Malaga alone 67.7 million euros have been invested in health infrastructures since 2021 and announced that a further 40 million euros are set to be spent on health provision over the course of this year.
