Many people have an opinion about the change from private management to public management at Torrevieja hospital.
2 social movements have been created; one for and one against this transition.
From October 15th 2021, Torrevieja Hospital will be managed by the Valencian Community Health Department (currently the management is semi-private).
Take part in our survey:
The hospital workers and health workers are concerned about what their future job will be.
Each side has more than enough arguments to justify the public management of the hospital or to maintain and prolong the private management.
This decision not only affects Torrevieja, but a whole health department that serves 10 municipalities with a total of 140,000 patients in the health area.
The Health Department serves the municipalities of Torrevieja, Guardamar del Segura, Rojales, Pilar de la Horadada, San Fulgencio, Benijófar, Formentera del Segura, San Miguel de Salinas, Los Montesinos and Orihuela Costa.

Since the construction of the Torrevieja hospital in 2006, it has never been fully managed by the public administration, so it is not possible to make comparisons, although there are examples of other nearby hospitals that have experienced this change such as Alzira, but it’s impossible to know if the same results would take place at Torrevieja hospital and the whole health department which covers the aforementioned towns and their medical centres.
Many questions arise regarding this topic:
What do the hospital professionals think?
What do the users of the hospital think?
Who benefits or is harmed if this action is taken?
We want to know your opinion and your experience with Torrevieja hospital.


























Perhaps going entirely private might improve the attitude of some of the nursing staff.
Perhaps going entirely public
might improve the attitude of some of the nursing staff.
Why can’t it be left as it is? Why change when things are going so well. Understand it is of course to do with one person in the government and money! It is very worrying when already doctors and nurses have walked out so what does that say? I think we should get a petition up all those in favour contact me

Happy to protest, it’s an absolute shambles.
Having now had experience 8f the new system it us a disaster. My hubby was taken by ambulance in agony and had a six hour way being totally ignored even though he was crying out in pain. We arrived 6.30pm and were seen at 1am. You can’t imagine the distress we were both in. Result is he has an inflamed gallbladder and is having keyhole surgery. The whole experience has left us exhausted , I spent the night in a chair and him on a trolley bed and he didn’t want me getting a taxi at 4am on my own.
Absolute shambles since the management of the hospital has changed. Impossible to do anything.
