A shared challenge: health in the Terres de l’Ebre
Health is an essential pillar of any society that aspires to well -being. In this context, the debate around the Hospital of Tortosa Verge de la Cinta (HTVC) is not only a local matter, but a topic that involves us all. A new chapter has recently been added to this story, which, despite its long history, demands an immediate response.
Necessary and immediate improvements
HTVC is in a critical situation that he cannot expect. The improvements required by both citizens and healthcare professionals are urgent. The extension of the hospital is not only an option, but an unmissable need to guarantee quality health services that adapt to current demands. In addition, to attract professional talent, it is essential to create an appropriate and dignified work environment, valued by those who dedicate their lives to taking care of us.
A vision of the future: the new university hospital
Beyond immediate improvements, it is essential to think about the future. The creation of a new University Hospital in Tortosa is an ambitious project that will require time and effort. The procedures are complicated, and the land acquired above are not the most suitable, but you have to continue working to make it possible. If the current land is not viable, we must have an alternative plan to guarantee the construction of this hospital.
Unity and Collaboration: The Pillars of the Action
To face this challenge, it is vital for society, healthcare professionals and institutions to collaborate effectively. The construction of the new hospital and the extension of the current one are not two opposite options, but they must be complementary processes. It is time to avoid sterile debates and focus on the action. Union is the key to ensuring that the Terres de l’Ebre has appropriate health infrastructures.
The importance of immediate action
The time to act is now. The HTVC Faculty Board and the College of Nurses have expressed their need to expand the hospital. We cannot afford to wait anymore; Today’s health needs demand solutions today.
Overcoming obstacles and looking forward
Recently discovered archeological findings remind us that the path to a better health system will not always be easy. It is crucial to rely on experts to find viable solutions. Leaving any of the two options, extension or new construction, would be a detrimental error to the community.
Collective commitment to a health future
We are facing a unique opportunity to build a health system that responds to everyone’s needs. Now is the time to add efforts and build a project that benefits the community. Health is a common good and its defense must be a shared priority. Only through collaboration can we ensure that the health services are up to the 21st century.
The moment of unity has arrived. The construction of a decent and equitable health future depends on the decisions we make today. It’s time to work together to make present and future needs come true.
