Countdown to the opening of the new health center in Nueva Andalucía, Marbella

Last July, the Las Chapas clinic opened its doors, and in November, the new Marbella West health center opened on Ricardo Soriano Avenue. Now, the new primary care facilities in Nueva Andalucía are set to mark a new milestone in the Marbella municipal government's plan to improve health infrastructure in the municipality. The City Council has already completed the expansion of the current clinic and, according to municipal sources quoted by SUR, is "finalizing" the urbanization works being developed outside the center, the last step before the new facilities of the Andalusian Health Service can open their doors.

Meanwhile, in parallel, the Andalusian Regional Government has started the process for acquiring the equipment that will be installed in the building constructed by the City Council next to the clinic. Initially, it is expected to arrive by the end of February, after which installation will begin so that the new health facilities can become operational.

The Nueva Andalucía health center will consist of the newly constructed building, which has an area of nearly 400 square meters, and the existing 300 square meter clinic. The new building will house ten consultation rooms, six for general medicine and two for pediatrics, all larger than 16 square meters; two nursing rooms of more than 17 square meters; two waiting rooms of 33 square meters; a family planning room; adapted and children's toilets; and a reception area, among other facilities.

The City Council is constructing a parking lot and a road that will connect the new building with the current clinic

The facilities have a specific area for the entry and exit of ambulances and have been built on a single floor, although with a structure designed to allow future vertical expansion if necessary.

Urbanization Works

As the construction progresses, the City Council is addressing the last part of the urbanization works in the area and the construction of a 1,740 square meter parking lot that will have capacity for about 70 vehicles, including nine motorcycles and two spaces for people with reduced mobility, and which will be available for use by both staff and visitors of the center.

The urbanization works being carried out by the City Council will connect the old outpatient clinic with the new building via a road. The action also includes repaving the sidewalks, installing public lighting, and planting eleven trees, three olive trees, and shrubs. Ultimately, this is about improving access to the health center, expanding parking capacity in Nueva Andalucía, and creating green spaces to improve air quality and beautify the surroundings.
