The expansion of the facilities and highly specialized services at Hospiten Estepona has enabled the hospital to reinforce medical specialties that are in great demand. This project, which has increased healthcare capacity, surgical complexity and the portfolio of services in the Hospitalization, Emergency and Outpatient blocks, has focused on comprehensive care for women. Specifically, the new Gynecological Emergency Service, which includes the Gynecology and Obstetrics Unit, is available twenty-four hours a day at Hospiten Estepona.
In the area of influence of Hospiten Estepona, characterized by a large young female population and a continuous increase in women of childbearing age, there are several gynecological and obstetric emergencies with a high incidence. Among the most frequent are abnormal gynecological bleeding, complications in the first trimester of pregnancy, acute pelvic pain, urgent obstetric pathology and gynecological infections. These conditions generate a high and constant volume of care, which justifies the need for a specialized 24-hour service.
"Hospiten Estepona, with the expansion project, has contemplated a very broad concept of emergency care: adult, pediatric and gynecological. In this sense, we have put the emphasis on care for women with gynecological emergencies or gyneco-obstetrics to attend to any condition of pregnant or non-pregnant women 24 hours a day, 365 days a year," says Dr. José Carlos Salas, medical director of Hospiten Estepona.
With the aim of treating patients in situations that require immediate attention, the 24-hour Gynecological Emergency Service offers uninterrupted medical attention to patients, without the need for an appointment, with a team of professionals specialized in Gynecology and Obstetrics. In addition, Radiology services have been increased in the gynecological area, with the acquisition of ultrasound scanners, MRI and a mammograph with synthesis tomography. "The permanent availability of urgent ultrasound, immediate analysis and an on-site gynecology and obstetrics team makes it possible to offer fast, safe care adapted to the needs of the female population of the western Costa del Sol," says Dr. Salas.
Thus, the new Gynecological Emergency Service has an integral medical team, formed by professionals in Gynecology and Obstetrics, and a multidisciplinary team specialized in gynecological emergencies. This service offers the highest quality care, through a close, humane and sensitive treatment, and has advanced diagnostic equipment 24 hours a day.
"In this comprehensive care for women, we close a circle in the maternal-child area with the reinforcement of gynecological and pediatric emergencies," concludes Dr. Salas.
