The Health Department is putting out to tender the construction of the new intermediate care hospital in Felanitx for €26 million

The new Felanitx chronic care hospital will have a built surface of 10,907 m² and one hundred double rooms for individual use to accommodate patients with chronic illnesses from the Llevant region. These rooms are specially designed to ensure patients’ comfort and well-being during their hospital stay.

This new healthcare facility will provide comprehensive, high-quality care to patients with chronic diseases who need convalescence or rehabilitation to regain autonomy, as well as to their caregivers. Patients will receive treatments and care aimed at stabilizing their illness, supporting rehabilitation, and recovering personal independence.

The hospital’s goal is to improve healthcare services in the Llevant region, which covers eight municipalities (Artà, Campos, Capdepera, Felanitx, Manacor, Santanyí, Son Servera, and Vilafranca) with a population of over 140,000 residents. About 17% of them (nearly 24,000) are over 65 years old.

Moreover, according to population projections from the National Statistics Institute (INE), by 2029 the region’s population will reach nearly 150,000, with 20% (around 30,000 people) aged 65 or older. Knowing this growth from 17% to 20% is key to planning the necessary resources for the new hospital. These figures highlight the trend toward population aging and the resulting progressive increase in chronic patients.
