CASARES JOINS CAMPAIGN FOR NEW HOSPITAL

The three local authorities in Casares, Manilva and Estepona have joined forces to campaign for a new hospital in Arroyo Vaquero. Casares Health councillor Pedro Gonzalez explained this week that the Town Hall is joining a petition of the Estepona area seeking a meeting with the Health Councillor for the Andalucian Government to demand better health services for the western Costa del Sol. The campaign for new district hospital at Arroyo Vaquero is being supported by the trade unions and political parties. The construction of a new hospital facility has been promised since 2007 but has been suspended because of the economic cutbacks.
