The Mayor of Los Alcázares, Mario Cervera, and the Councillor for Health, Antonio López, announced at the doors of the Los Alcázares Health Centre earlier this week that a demonstration would be held to demand “quality healthcare and a care service that covers all hours of the day”.
Starting from the doors of the Town Hall, under the slogan ‘Los Alcázares for a 24-hour Health Centre’, the protest march was organised to meander the streets of the town before reaching the town’s health centre, located on Calle Mar Tirreno.
“Since 2011, when the major healthcare cuts occurred in the municipality, care was reduced to practically 9 in the morning to 3 in the afternoon. The Department of Health used the excuse that there was not enough population in the municipality of Los Alcázares, but the truth is that since then we have grown exponentially, surpassing 20,000 inhabitants this year,” said Cervera.
