Answer

Why do hospitals in Mallorca struggle with waiting times and admissions?

Waiting times often reflect a mix of too many patients, not enough staff, and limited capacity in admission areas. When primary care is hard to access, more people end up going straight to hospital, which adds even more pressure. In Mallorca, that can lead to delays before patients are properly assessed or admitted.
