The Ministry of Health has allocated more than 4.3 million euros for the technological renewal and infrastructure adaptation of the Radiology Service at the Hospital de Dénia, an initiative that strengthens the center's healthcare capacity and expands its diagnostic resources.

The Minister of Health, Marciano Gómez, visited the hospital, highlighting an investment of over 3.5 million euros to upgrade the Radiology Service's technological equipment. This investment has enabled the incorporation of two new Computed Axial Tomography (CAT) scanners, a new MRI machine, a densitometer, and a digital orthopantomograph, thereby enhancing the service's healthcare capacity.
Gómez emphasized that this investment "will represent a qualitative leap in healthcare, as it expands the range of services, improves diagnostic accuracy, and optimizes response times." The new MRI machine, the second installed at the center, will allow for a greater number of studies and more agile test execution. The new CAT scanners offer higher resolution images with reduced radiation exposure, increasing patient safety. The densitometer strengthens the diagnosis of bone density pathologies, and the digital orthopantomograph expands the study possibilities of the oral cavity.
In addition to equipment renewal, Health has invested 800,000 euros in infrastructure to adapt spaces. These works include improvements in electrical installations, insulation systems, structural reinforcements, and specific measures for radiological safety. The minister praised the investment effort and the work of the professionals involved, stating that the renewal "has been a demonstration of the Consell's commitment to the continuous improvement of Valencian public healthcare."
During the visit, staffing levels were also discussed. The minister explained that the Dénia health department has been designated an area of difficult coverage to offer incentives and attract professionals. The current job posting includes 143 positions for this department, filled through a merit-based selection process. Furthermore, the Hospital de La Pedrera has also been declared an area of difficult coverage.
Finally, the new base for the Urgent Medical Aid Service (SAMU) within the Hospital de Dénia complex was visited. This facility, promoted by the Valencian Community's Emergency Health Service, spans over 100 square meters across two floors, aiming to improve operational efficiency and emergency response capabilities.
