The large number of visitors to the coast of Cartagena, in a Holy Week with almost summery temperatures in mid-April, will find that the consultation of the family doctor in Playa Honda takes place for the fourth consecutive year in a prefabricated facility with similar conditions to those used in schools with a lack of classrooms and so criticized by the parents of students.
The closure of the previous Playa Honda clinic by an embargo in early 2016 led the City Council to the location of a construction site in the adjacent town of Playa Paraíso where the doctors attended to the patients.
Both the then managing director of the Murciano Health Service, Francisco Agulló, and the former mayor of Cartagena, José López, agreed that it was a provisional measure until the problems of non-payment of the bass where residents received medical attention were resolved.
The former councilor for Health, Francisco Calderón, also MC as the former mayor, promised even the acquisition of the repossessed property and its extension in order that the new office multiplied by seven its surface and go from 60 to 400 square meters.
Commitments that fell on deaf ears with the normal use of the barracks among the neighbors so much later.
Nearly six hundred Cartagena residents of the population centers of Playa Honda, Playa Paraíso and Villas Caravaning, most of them of advanced age, use these temporary facilities throughout the year.
During the Easter and summer holidays, this prefabricated unit multiplies its assistance pressure by four, with the arrival of 2,000 people with another habitual residence and who have their ID cards in order.
Many of those who have second homes in this privileged area of ​​the southern shore of the Mar Menor live in the urban case of Cartagena and, before the news of a construction site as an impromptu consultation with the doctor, ask for an appointment in their usual health centers of the city and make thirty kilometers of road disgusting before any problem of sanitary nature.
The candidate for mayor and general secretary of the Cantonal Party, Celestino García Alfaro, regrets once again that health is not a priority for both the municipal and regional governments.
"No matter how clean and conditioned they are, the neighbors should not receive medical treatment in a prefabricated barrack, the same thing always happens: quick announcements of an immediate solution until the temporary measure becomes permanent. Disconformity the top leader of the PCAN.
