HM Hospitals completes the comprehensive renovation of the La Encarnación building in Malaga

HM Hospitales announced this Thursday the completion of the comprehensive renovation of the La Encarnación building, an outpatient consultation complex ... that is part of HM Málaga Hospital, located on Carlos Haya Avenue, "thus culminating an ambitious project aimed at enhancing the quality of care and expanding the center's capacity."

This intervention, which involved an investment of over three million euros, has completely renovated a space with a plot of 413 square meters and a built area of 1,133 square meters. Following its completion, the center now offers "modern, more efficient facilities adapted to the current needs of patients and professionals."

Among the main improvements are the expansion of the outpatient area, the update of the physiotherapy area, and the reorganization of the healthcare spaces. The restoration of the facade with access from Ruiz López Street, opposite the adult and pediatric emergency departments of the main hospital building, "ensures greater accessibility, allowing anyone to use the spaces autonomously."

Additionally, the building has been equipped with high-efficiency energy systems, including a SATE finish envelope that significantly improves thermal insulation, contributing to indoor comfort and the sustainability of the center.

Dr. Virginia Grando, southern regional director of HM Hospitales, highlighted that the completion of this comprehensive renovation "represents a further step in our commitment to care excellence, by providing our patients with renovated, more spacious, accessible, and comfortable facilities."

Regarding its layout, the renovated building houses cardiology, gynecology, ophthalmology, and dentistry consultations on its ground floor. The laboratory has its own waiting room and extraction booths. Additionally, the dental area also includes dental CT and chairs for specialized treatments.

The first floor hosts consultations for otolaryngology, urology, general and digestive surgery, internal medicine, oncology, and traumatology, including the Biological Traumatology Unit. The second floor is dedicated to the Traffic and Physiotherapy Unit, while the upper floors are reserved for multipurpose uses.

The basement has a new fully equipped kitchen, with cold and dry areas, a refrigeration chamber, and a washing train, as well as new changing rooms for the center's professionals.

With the completion of the renovation of the La Encarnación building, HM Hospitales strengthens its commitment to Málaga and consolidates its care model based on innovation, clinical quality, and continuous improvement of the patient experience. Evidence of this is the recent opening of the HM El Palo Polyclinic and the upcoming construction of the HM Mar de Alborán Hospital in Málaga and the HM Vélez-Málaga Hospital in the Axarquía region of Málaga.

HM Hospitales has three hospitals in the province of Málaga: HM Málaga, HM Gálvez, and HM Santa Elena, the latter with a clear international orientation; and the HM El Palo Polyclinic.
