The UPL Salamanca candidate for the Cortes of Castilla y León, Carlos Javier Santiago, has put on the table the need to provide areas far from the capital of Salamanca with health specialty centers to avoid “unnecessary travel.”
In that sense, it is committed to locating these centers in Vitigudino and Peñaranda as it is the greatest “need” and converting the current health centers into specialty centers. In this way, “the portfolio of health services would be expanded and thus certain trips to Salamanca of the residents of these regions would be avoided.”
Among the justifications, Carlos Javier Salgado explains that, for example, there is a significant geographical distance between the region of Vitigudino and Las Arribes with the Salamanca Hospital, a long journey that must also be made on conventional roads, therefore, “I advise providing the area with all the services that can be provided without having to travel to the capital.”
Similarly, the candidate for UPL defends that the creation of this type of centers “would expand the health functions in the area and, with this, closer assistance could be provided, with services that would already be provided in Vitigudino and Peñaranda, avoiding unnecessary trips to Salamanca for the residents of these areas, thus also helping to avoid a greater collapse of the Salamanca Hospital, which has the largest waiting list in the community,” Carlos Javier Santiago, candidate for UPL for Salamanca to the Cortes of Castilla y León.
