New 24-hour emergency health centre opens in La Manga del Mar Menor
San Javier Town Council has provided the equipment and renovated the new premises
In its commitment to ensuring quality healthcare for both residents and visitors of La Manga, San Javier Town Council has opened a new 061 Emergency Service in the Jardines de Veneziola, Luz Bahía Bajo development, at the end of La Manga del Mar Menor.
The centre is equipped with an Advanced Nursing Life Support (SVAE) service and will be open 24 hours a day to deal with health and medical emergencies in the northern area of the municipality.
This additional resource is designed to provide rapid response to health emergencies and has already proven its worth, having responded to over 100 calls since its launch just a few days ago.
María José Bernal, Councillor for Health in San Javier, emphasised the significance of this initiative, stating that “061 works closely with the San Javier Town Council to guarantee quality health care during the summer, when the population in La Manga increase considerably.”
The council has provided all of the equipment and paid for the necessary upgrades to the facility.
“This action is part of the ongoing effort of the San Javier Government team to ensure that both residents and visitors of La Manga del Mar Menor have adequate and accessible medical care during the busiest months,” concluded the councillor.
The SVAE ambulance service will be available 24 hours a day until the end of the summer season, ensuring continuous and efficient health coverage in this key tourist area.
