Key details
The Government of the Canary Islands has officially opened the tender process for constructing Centro de Salud Corralejo II Dunas in Fuerteventura, with a budget of €9,924,828.28. This project, co-financed by the European Regional Development Fund (FEDER) for 2021-2027, aims to expand healthcare infrastructure to meet growing demands in the Basic Health Zone of La Oliva, a region experiencing significant population growth.
The new health center will span 3,500 square meters on a single floor to ensure accessibility, featuring dedicated areas for adult care (family and community medicine), pediatric consultations, emergency services with observation and treatment rooms, minor surgery, women's health, physiotherapy, oral health, and conventional radiology, along with administrative support and staff facilities.
Construction is planned over 23 months, with proposals due by January 29, 2026. This new facility will alleviate capacity limits of the existing health center, which has reached saturation despite previous expansions. The Basic Health Zone currently includes the Centro de Salud de Corralejo and clinics in La Oliva and Lajares, serving multiple nearby communities.
This development marks a significant step in the Canary Islands' commitment to modernizing healthcare infrastructure to better serve its residents.
