Fuerteventura’s Health Area has begun renovations at the Morro Jable Health Centre, allocating a budget of €239,298.78 for the project, which is expected to take four months. The improvement works include refurbishing the building’s façade, enhancing safety measures, and constructing a new shelter in the parking area.
The project, announced on June 16 and awarded on August 26, focuses on several areas within the primary care centre. Key enhancements involve updating signage, improving evacuation routes, optimising staff rest areas, and adding a shaded parking area for ambulances equipped with electricity and water supply.
Additional upgrades will improve soundproofing and ventilation in staff rooms to create better working conditions for healthcare professionals. The renovation will also enhance fire safety protocols and introduce double doors at the main entrance to address temperature control and reduce wind disruption.
Finally, unused indoor gardens will be replaced with children’s play areas to better serve families visiting the centre. Currently, the Morro Jable Health Centre caters to 19,053 patients across the surrounding communities, including Esquinzo and Costa Calma.
