Flu wave in Mallorca: Are additional beds enough — or is system resilience lacking?

Answer

Why is Mallorca’s health system under pressure during the flu wave?

Emergency calls are also rising because of strokes and cardiovascular problems, while ambulance transport, admissions and home follow-up are all stretched. Without enough staff and coordinated outpatient care, even extra beds cannot fully relieve the system.
