The Community of Madrid has visited the construction site of the new health center located on Olesa de Montserrat street, which will replace the outdated facilities on Isla de Java street. The new healthcare infrastructure, spanning 5,000 square meters, is designed to serve a population of 25,000 residents starting in 2027.
The civil works, representing a public investment of 12.3 million euros, have a technical execution period of 16.5 months. The regional government anticipates completing the structural work this year, aiming for inauguration and public opening in the following fiscal year.
The usable area will be distributed across five floors and an underground section for staff and user parking. The Primary Care block will house nine Family Medicine consultations, eight Nursing consultations, three Emergency consultations, two Pediatrics consultations, and specialized areas for Social Work and midwives.
Furthermore, the center will integrate a Continuous Care Point (PAC) for out-of-hours emergency medical assistance. To accommodate this, the design includes bedrooms and rest areas for healthcare professionals, as well as spaces for Physiotherapy, lactation rooms, and minor procedure areas.
This project is part of a comprehensive plan by the Community of Madrid to build 34 new healthcare centers. New facilities have already opened in areas such as Collado Villalba, Navalcarnero, Parla, Alcorcón, and Las Tablas. The regional administration is also implementing a renovation program to maintain the existing 460 local health posts.
Health authorities have highlighted a drastic reduction in hard-to-fill medical positions, decreasing from 22 critical vacancies at the start of the government's term to only two affected centers currently.
