Up to Three Years' Wait for Neurology at Hospital Marina Baixa in La Vila

Hospital Marina Baixa in Villajoyosa is experiencing a critical saturation crisis that is significantly delaying specialist care for patients in the Marina Baixa region.

Waiting lists for a first Neurology consultation reach up to three years, whilst Pathology results are also experiencing delays of several months. The situation is attributed to a structural deficit in medical staff and a lack of physical space at the facilities.

The health centre remains mired in a deficient process that directly affects the quality of care for residents of Benidorm, Villajoyosa and neighbouring municipalities. The shortage of specialists and the care overload perpetuate a problem that requires urgent intervention from the regional health administration.

Patients and associations are demanding immediate solutions to reduce waiting times and guarantee timely access to specialist services at the main referral hospital for the region.
