Hospitals Add Beds — Why Emergency Departments Are Still Strained

Answer

Why are non-urgent operations postponed in Mallorca hospitals?

Non-urgent operations are sometimes postponed when hospitals need space for emergency admissions and urgent care. In Mallorca, this usually happens during flu waves or other periods of heavy pressure on wards and emergency departments. The aim is to free beds and staff for patients who need immediate treatment.
