Redován expects work on new health centre to begin in July 2027
The Conselleria de Sanidad has awarded a €308,550 contract to draw up the plans and supervise the works; the future centre will have 1,581 square metres.
Redován expects work on its new medical centre to begin in July 2027. It will be built in the plaza de la Comunitat Valenciana, with an additional entrance from the avenida de la Diputación de Alicante. Mayor Nely Ruiz says this is a provisional date, dependent on the administrative procedures being completed on schedule.
On 6 October 2026, the Conselleria de Sanidad awarded a €308,550 contract to draw up the plans and supervise the works. Construction is expected to cost €4,095,963.64 and take 24 months. Once the plans have been completed, the works will have to be put out to tender.
The two-storey building will have around 1,581 square metres of floor space. It will be built on a 1,872-square-metre municipal plot ceded to the Generalitat and will form part of the Orihuela Health Department.
The design includes six family medicine consulting rooms, two paediatric consulting rooms, five nursing rooms and two paediatric nursing rooms. It also provides for spaces for a midwife, urgent care, social work and sample collection. The new facility will allow more healthcare services to be brought together in a larger centre.
If the municipal timetable is met, the health centre could be completed in late 2029 or early 2030. Ruiz has put the time needed to complete the plans at nine months; the initial tender had divided the work into three stages over eight months: one month for the preliminary study, three for the basic design and four for the detailed design.
The current auxiliary health centre is in calle Las Escuelas and provides family medicine, paediatrics, nursing, midwifery, vaccinations and sample collection. The Generalitat says the new facility is needed to meet demand in Redován, a town with a population of more than 8,000. The mayor has said the healthcare workforce has grown from 13 to 20 professionals.
The project is based on a municipal plot whose transfer had been in preparation since 2024. In March that year, the Town Council said it had sent Sanidad 111 technical and administrative documents to process the transfer. The future health centre will serve Redován residents as part of the Orihuela Health Department network.
