The Delegate of the Government, Sabrina Moh, has highlighted the expansion of the portfolio of services that the new University Hospital will entail. “We will soon have a health infrastructure at the forefront of the country in operation, with a very important portfolio of services, which will prevent many melillenses from having to move to the peninsula to undergo tests or receive treatments,” he said.
The head of the Government Delegation, in an interview given to Popular Television, has stressed that “the important thing is that this infrastructure comes to improve people’s lives.”
“The citizen has to understand that we have made a bet on this machine, not only for having the most innovative and the best that for Melilla, which also, but because that will impact on the health itself and the well-being and recovery of the citizen,” he said.
Moh explained that the Hospital has the “most modern equipment and equipment that currently exists not in Spain but in the entire market”, such as the latest generation and totally pioneering MRI equipment or the Da Vinci Surgical System.
Less recovery time
“When we talk about the Da Vinci machine, it is true that we are talking about a cutting-edge device, the best that is currently on the market, which costs almost two million euros and all that is important,” he said. “But the most important thing about this device is that, if in a surgical intervention that is done without this system it can have a recovery time of 15 days, when using this device, those 15 days are going to be significantly reduced because they are going to be smaller incisions and the recovery can go from 15 days to 1 or 2 days,” he said.
“And therefore that machine, which is so expensive, which is state-of-the-art, is very good to have, but above all because of the quality leap in health care in the city that it involves and that is going to have a direct impact on the citizen and his recovery time,” he said.
The highest representative of the Government of Spain in our city has recalled that this is the largest investment in decades, with a budget allocation of more than 100 million euros, and that it is between seven and nine times greater than the Regional Hospital.
But Sabrina Moh has stressed that this new Hospital “will greatly improve the quality of health in the city” and that “it comes to benefit the quality of care in the service and, therefore, to improve the conditions of local health, something that will directly benefit the citizens”.
