Gynecologist Shortage in Manacor: Emergency Births at Night Rerouted to Palma

Answer

Why are emergency births from Manacor being transferred to Palma?

The transfers are linked to a temporary shortage of gynecologists and obstetric staff at Manacor Hospital. When a staffing gap affects overnight care, the hospital can no longer keep every emergency birth in place. In those cases, patients are moved to Son Espases or Son Llàtzer in Palma.
