Managing Director Murciano Health Service (SMS), José Antonio Alarcon, reiterated the importance it has and will continue the University Hospital Santa Maria del Rosell, Cartagena, inside the hospital complex that forms with the St. Lucia University General Hospital, in health area II, which covers the municipalities of Cartagena, La Unión, Fuente Álamo and Mazarrón.
Alarcon was blunt in response to statements made in recent days by the PSOE in Cartagena, in stating that "the hospital is not going to close, Health is not planning Rosell closure. This is the umpteenth time I have to repeat that the Rosell not closed ".
The manager explained that since opening the Hospital Santa Lucia, two years ago, the Health Area II is unique in the region of Murcia and has two hospitals.
Furthermore, since it opened the new Hospital of Los Arcos, the area's population dropped by more than 100,000.
Alarcon said that "its current population of 270,000, for which Health has two hospitals that need to be supplemented to provide the best possible care."
Since St. Lucia has developed his care, management is at all times the most appropriate study to combine healthcare between the two centers of the area.
To Alarcón, "it is essential that a large hospital such as St. Lucia, with the latest technology, keep your capacity for growth, while Rosell care share these goals."
The goal of Health is "to improve assistance that can be offered in the area Rosell promoting some services. In any case, these plans include the closure of the hospital, let alone sale or change in clinical use. Rosell Hospital will working within the area II of Health and will remain public, as Health reiterated many times ".
Management, with Murcia Health Service, must comply with established management contracts each year "to optimize care and be efficient."
On this occasion "there is a constant evaluation of the capacity and service activity," said Alarcon.
According to these results, the SMS is still studying possible changes, as there have been two years since it opened St. Lucia, "always with the responsibility of management efficiency and to improve assistance in the area," he said.
