The Orihuela City Council, through the Department of Health, has announced the temporary closure of the Correntías medical center facilities. This step is necessary to remove existing furniture, equipment, and materials from the building as a preliminary measure before the comprehensive renovation works begin.
Patients registered at the center have already been informed of the temporary relocation of medical consultations to the Molins medical center, where healthcare services are being provided while the Correntías facilities remain closed.
This reorganization of healthcare services and preparatory actions are being carried out in coordination with the Orihuela Health Department, which includes the Vega Baja University Hospital.
The temporary closure of the building allows for the removal and storage of furniture and medical equipment, which is necessary to prepare the facility before construction begins. This measure also responds to preventive criteria given the condition of the facilities after recent rainfall.
The comprehensive renovation project includes the redistribution of interior spaces, the renewal of electrical, plumbing, sanitation, and air conditioning systems, as well as the adaptation of access points and restrooms to accessibility regulations.
Medical attention for the residents of Correntías will continue to be provided temporarily at the Molins medical center until the works are completed and the facilities can be used again.
