The Health Area of Fuerteventura, attached to the Ministry of Health of the Government of the Canary Islands, has started the works which include the rehabilitation of the facade, improvement of signage and evacuation conditions, adaptation of spaces for healthcare staff rest, and the construction of a pergola-canopy in the parking area.
The project, put out to tender on June 16 and awarded on August 26, effectively began on November 4 after the signing of the site survey verification act on October 30. The center belongs to the Basic Health Zone of the Jandía Peninsula, which serves 19,053 users.
The interventions aim to improve the conservation, functionality, safety, and comfort of the facilities. Defects and humidity problems on the facade and roof will be repaired. The new parking area pergola will facilitate ambulance parking and will have basic services.
Soundproofing and ventilation in staff rest areas will also be improved, evacuation routes and fire protection systems will be reinforced. A double door will be installed at the entrance to reduce climate control loss, and disused interior gardens will be transformed into children's play areas.
