The document, a product of the «Benissa Cares: From Diagnosis to Action» initiative and XarxaSalut, compiles the results of work carried out during 2026 and the contributions received. It combines statistical information on the population, territory, income, and housing with participatory spaces such as a citizen session, a meeting with the Intersectoral Health Council, and a needs prioritization session.
Among the municipality's highlighted assets are its natural environment, sports facilities, cultural activities, associative fabric, and public services. However, the process has also revealed challenges related to mobility, accessibility, care, personal autonomy, housing, and effective access to resources, particularly in a municipality with a dispersed population and significant aging.
In the joint assessment, coordination between services, entities, and citizens ranked first, while housing was considered the most relevant area, despite the difficulties in addressing it with available municipal resources.
This diagnosis is not an approved action plan but a shared starting point to guide future community health decisions and projects. The City Council thus facilitates the feedback of results and invites citizens to learn about the work done. The project received public health funding from the Conselleria de Sanitat for the 2026 fiscal year.
