The Minister of Health, Marciano Gomez, announced the unification and coordination of the four health departments in the south of the province (the Health Department of Venalopo and General Elche, the Health Department of Torrevieja and the Health Department of Orihuela) work between them, a move that has been positively reviewed for the synergies it creates.

The director of Venalopo Hospital insisted that “public health needs to be more efficient.” Additionally, a steering committee established between the four centers will allow them to “coordinate priorities” and “there will be no inequalities between patients, so if anything changes, it will be for the better.”
