The City of Cartagena has already granted the license to adapt on the ground floor, next to the parking area, a space of almost 600 square meters for the Oncology service of the Santa María del Rosell hospital.

The mayor, Ana Belén Castejón, has indicated that "I value positively that, after the meeting that we had in September, the regional government starts investing in the Rosell, but I think it is insufficient since we need the center of the Paseo Alfonso XIII to have the Intensive Care Unit, reinforce the emergency service and open the hospital beds that the Health II area needs. "

The works will focus on improving the waiting rooms, consultations and offices of Nursing, Radiophysics and Medicine, as well as the toilets of both staff and users.

Likewise, the changing rooms and the waiting room will be improved.

The material execution budget amounts to just over 700,000 euros and has a term of 12 months renewable.

At the September meeting, the counselor undertook to open a Complex Chronic Unit with 50 beds and to convert the Rosell into a high-resolution center, with no news to date.

The mayor showed his total predisposition to expedite how many procedures depend on the municipal administration so that the Rosell opens its doors one hundred percent and a good example of this is the agility in the granting of this license.

Last September, the mayor transferred to the Minister of Health, Manuel Villegas, the unsustainable situation in which Area II of Health of Cartagena is located.

The need to have a second hospital at full capacity, the Rosell, is closely linked to the waiting lists that support the Cartagena and that mean an average of 17 days more than the rest of Murcia to undergo a surgical operation, 44 days more, to be seen by a specialist, the same happens with diagnostic tests such as ultrasounds, in which the regional waiting average is 31 days, while area II is 57 days;

or colonoscopies, in which the regional average is 44 days, compared to 93 in area II.
