Significant advancements in healthcare infrastructure are unfolding in both Asturias and Orihuela as two major projects are set to enhance local health services. In Asturias, the government has initiated the bidding process for the planning and design of a major reform project at Hospital Monte Naranco, while in Orihuela, plans are well underway for the construction of a new health center, Centro de Salud Orihuela Costa 2.

On August 14, 2025, Asturias announced the government’s investment of €520,465 for the preparation of a director plan and basic project that will guide the extensive refurbishment of Hospital Monte Naranco. This development signals a robust commitment to upgrade facilities, improve medical services, and enhance patient care significantly. The details about the renovation project remain under wraps for now, but it promises substantial improvements to the existing hospital infrastructure.

Meanwhile, in Orihuela, the Centro de Salud Orihuela Costa 2 is set to be constructed on a 12,000 square meter plot in Villa Rosa. This new facility is designed to feature an emergency department and ample parking spaces, which are crucial additions given the increasing demand for healthcare services in the area. With the local population experiencing growth, the new health center is expected to play a pivotal role in catering to the medical needs of residents.

As these projects move forward, they are expected to not only bolster healthcare capacity but also contribute positively to the community's overall well-being. The investments signal a proactive approach by local governments to strengthen health services under increasing demand. Overall, both initiatives point to a larger commitment to improving healthcare access and quality in these regions.
