Joan March Hospital: Four Days Without Hot Water – What to Do Now

Answer

Why are geriatrics and palliative care especially affected by infrastructure failures in Mallorca hospitals?

Patients in geriatrics and palliative care often need more help with hygiene, comfort, and mobility than other hospital groups. If hot water, beds, or specialist mattresses fail, the effect is immediate and more serious than in a standard ward. In Mallorca hospitals, these departments depend on stable basic infrastructure to maintain safe care.
