The Ministry of Health has awarded 12 new pharmacy offices, after 12 years in which it was not done, among which is that of the 4th District of Jumilla.This award means that the repeated claims of the City Council obtain positive results, since it was a demand in health matters during the last decade.

With the completion of this award process, the opening of the new pharmacy will take place, "very good news for Jumilla and especially for the residents of the area," said the mayor of Jumilla, Juana Guardiola today.

The 4th District pharmacy was closed in September 2007.In the September 2010 plenary session, a motion was unanimously approved urging the Ministry of Health to urgently process the opening of a new pharmacy office in the Fourth District to meet the needs of residents, backed by 2,864 signatures.In March 2011 the procedure began, but then the matter was stopped for years, until the last legislature.In a meeting held in January 2018 and requested by the mayor of Jumilla, Juana Guardiola along with the then councilor for Health, Lucía Jiménez, the Minister of Health, Manuel Villegas, showed his commitment that the pharmacy of the 4th District would be one of the new offices they planned to create.The previous year, Juana Guardiola, had already requested it from the previous counselor, Encarnación Guillén, as well as in the meetings held with the different presidents of the Region.

This award will allow the opening of the 4th District pharmacy, which will cover a neighborhood of Jumilla away from other pharmacies and with an aging population.The residents of this area had been claiming this pharmacy for years, which corresponded to Jumilla by population ratio.
