IMED Levante presents the expansion of its hospital in Benidorm, which will double its capacity

The mayor of Benidorm, Toni Pérez, together with members of the Corporation, attended this morning the presentation ceremony of the new annexed building of the IMED Levante Hospital, which will double its healthcare capacity and make it the largest private hospital in the province.

Pérez has congratulated the group "for the effort in this extension" and has been pleased that it is in Benidorm, where the project was born in 2004, where they execute an investment of 24 million euros. IMED has already consolidated 9 health centres in the main cities of the Valencian Community and Murcia "as well as in the major tourist destinations in the province".

In Benidorm, said the mayor, IMED Levante "has given great satisfaction" and, above all, "has provided exquisite attention to thousands and thousands of people". Pérez pointed out "the great effort of urban management so that all this becomes a reality and that it arrives promptly" so that Benidorm offers a portfolio of services in the health field "increased and improved, reaching excellence". The hospital centre of 2004, said the mayor Toni Pérez, “has given a great mark in health care in Benidorm, the province, the Region of Valencia and Murcia. Forging "is a benchmark brand".

Pérez highlighted that "the IMED Group likes to take care of people and Benidorm likes to take care of people and take care of those who take care of people", going on to remember the collaboration experienced since the start of the pandemic where it was valued " the complementarity of health services" of public health and private health that allowed Benidorm to "have better care and top level."

Benidorm recognized the effort of the IMED Levante in the people of the Nursing Director and the Medical Director, representing those who had been on the front line helping the health system.

“You were a breather”, pointed out Toni Pérez, “of a system that could not possibly attend to everything in Benidorm and the region; We went through a need for attention that overwhelmed any omen.”

"How would the perception of this Benidorm be - the mayor asked himself - if we did not have the possibility of having the great IMED family and the service that you offer is an excellent way". It is about, he concluded, "to fluff up what we all have the right to without forgetting that we all contribute to the creation of a great public health system."

Ángel Gómez, CEO of Grupo IMED, presented the chapter of actions that the expansion entails, valued at almost 24 million euros, which will mean expanding the ambulatory surgery operating rooms by 4, with an awakening area, 80 external consultations, a training area and improvements in the Paediatrics, Gynecology and Radiotherapy services, remodelling the Emergency Area and ICU.

Gómez highlighted that the IMED Levante model, consolidated and contrasted, has been replicated by the Group in all its new units, highlighting that the one learned in Benidorm that has consolidated the group's organizational culture, with knowledge being the most outstanding value, the compass of capacity, adaptation, self-demand and culture of effort.

In these 18 years, IMED Levante has treated more than half a million patients and 600,000 emergencies; one and a half million consultations and 90,000 surgeries were performed.
