Plans Accelerate for Immediate Medical Care Facility by Catral
In the heart of the Valencian Community, the town of Catral is taking steps to improve its healthcare services. A recent meeting, attended by Mayor Joaquín Lucas, Councillor for Health Daniel Escudero, Dr. Dario Medina, and Dr. Arañazazu Segui, is part of an ongoing effort to address the growing population and evolving healthcare needs of the town.
The focus of the meeting was to discuss the need for a health centre that offers continuous medical care and a 24-hour Continuous Care Point (PAC). The proposed improvements aim to guarantee quality care for all Catral residents, with the ultimate goal of reducing the burden on hospital emergency rooms and enabling quicker, more effective treatment, particularly in emergencies.
In addition to the proposed health centre, the Town Hall also requested more SVB (Basic Life Support) units in the area to ensure faster, higher-quality urgent care. The Town Hall also called for an increase in emergency medical transport services in the area to further enhance the quality of healthcare services available to Catral residents.
Despite extensive research, as of August 2025, there is no publicly available information or progress updates regarding the construction or operational planning of a continuous care health centre or 24-hour PAC in Catral. Similarly, no news about enhancements in emergency medical transport services specific to Catral has been found.
For the latest and precise information, checking local government health department announcements or official health authority communications in the Valencian Community or Alicante province would be advisable. The Catral council remains committed to improving the town's medical infrastructure and ensuring accessible healthcare services for all its residents.
The Catral council has expressed the need to establish a health center that provides round-the-clock medical care and a 24-hour Continuous Care Point (PAC), as part of their aim to improve the existing healthcare services and reduce hospital emergency room burden. To support these services, the council has proposed enhancing emergency medical transport services and increasing the number of SVB (Basic Life Support) units in the town, which could potentially lead to quicker and more effective treatments, especially in emergencies. However, as of August 2025, there is no publicly available information regarding the progress of these plans in terms of construction or operational planning.
