Torrevieja Ahead

Patients waiting for an operation at Torrevieja Hospital face an average wait of 31 days, which is substantially lower than other public hospitals across the Valencia region, according to figures released by the Valencian government’s health department.

The figures apply to the third quarter of 2016, namely July to September, with Valencian health minister, Carmen Montón, saying that the average waiting time across the region was 127 days, much higher than Torrevieja’s average.

Torrevieja’s shortest waiting lists were for vascular, eye, dermatological, and gynaecological operations.
