A separate waiting room for pediatric adolescents has been set up

Specifically, the new waiting room for patients has doubled its space with the previous one, it has natural light and a new bathroom, among other improvements. A separate waiting room for pediatric adolescents has also been set up - from 11 years old to approximately 18 years old - with cameras controlled from the nursing controls, so that the waiting for the Pediatric Emergency is reserved for younger patients.

One of the spaces that has improved the comfort of the patients most significantly is the armchair in the medical area of ​​level 1 (where the less complex pathologies are treated). In this space, the previous arrangement of armchairs side by side has been changed to individual boxes, so that the patients located on this device now have privacy that they did not have until now. In addition, a companion can now also access.
