Why the island needs not just more beds but clear answers as flu cases rise

Answer

What is happening at Son Llàtzer hospital in Mallorca during the flu wave?

Son Llàtzer in Palma has been part of the island’s reserve-bed planning, with additional beds activated for winter pressure. The hospital is one of the key places watched when flu cases rise in Mallorca because it helps absorb demand from the city and nearby areas. Even so, bed capacity only helps if staffing and patient flow are managed well.
