Disillusioned by broken promises and ever-changing deadlines, health workers from the Health Centre in Rincón de la Victoria and the doctor’s office in La Cala del Moral will conduct a protest meeting at 11:30 this morning to demand the urgent opening of the new Health Centre in La Cala del Moral which was completed eighteen months ago but still has no staff or equipment.
The protesters argue that there are now 1,900 people for every doctor whereas the maximum allowed by the Regional Health Service is 1,500 per doctor. They also say that the opening of the new Health Centre must be accompanied by suitable increases in medical personnel otherwise the current situation will just continue but in a different location.
