"The Marina Alta Health Department has been suffering from a lack of specialist doctors in the hospital for too long." This is how a statement very critical of the management of the regional hospital begins, which has been disseminated to the media by the municipalities of Pego, l'Atzubia, Vall de Gallinera and Vall d'Ebo. According to these administrations, this lack of resources has detrimental effects on the health of the citizens of the region, but for a few months the situation in the Basic Health Zone of Pego, which serves the population of the municipalities of Pego, l'Atzúbia, Vall d'Ebo and Vall de Gallinera, has become unsustainable due to the lack of primary care medical teams.

After a difficult summer in which the different medical teams that have gone on vacation have not been replaced, they point out, since October there has been a delay of approximately 20 to 30 days for users to have an appointment with their GP.

As of right now, some 1400 patients will not be able to make an appointment with their GP, since the agendas are closed until January. Therefore, these users alone can be attended through the morning emergencies of the Pego Health Center, "thus causing a collapse of said service."

"From the Municipal Councils of Pego, Valle de Ebo, Vall de Gallinera and l'Atzúbia we urge the Ministry of Health and Marina Salut to resolve this situation, which is unacceptable and unsustainable, as quickly as possible."
