Puente Mayorga addresses its health challenges with technicians and health workers

The Puente Mayorga neighbourhood put its main health problems on the table last Wednesday, October 28. That day, a technical meeting on health matters was held at the "La Esquina" Civic Centre as part of the Eracis+ programme, according to the San Roque City Council. Social workers from the health management area of Campo de Gibraltar Este and from the San Roque primary care Clinical Management Unit attended the meeting. Among the issues discussed were affective-sexual health, obesity, pediculosis and emotional well-being, among other matters. The meeting served to share these problems and seek synergies with health professionals in the area. According to the Council, they showed their willingness to collaborate with Eracis+ when requested by the programme's technicians, in order to propose solutions to the health problems of the residents of Puente Mayorga. The meeting is part of the Andalusian Regional Strategy for Cohesion and Social Inclusion (Eracis+), which is being developed in the neighbourhood between 2024 and 2028. The programme is co-financed by the European Union (EU) and the Regional Government of Andalusia, through the Regional Ministry of Social Inclusion, Youth, Families and Equality. Its aim is to improve the quality of life of the neighbourhood's residents through socio-labour inclusion pathways.
