El Hospital 12 de Octubre externaliza ecografías al no poder asumir la demanda, pese a una reforma de más de 300 millones
Con un presupuesto de 139.700 euros, el contrato prevé derivar pruebas a centros externos durante seis meses
El Hospital 12 de Octubre, one of the largest in the country serving over 450,000 residents, inaugurated a new building in 2023 following more than two years of construction and an investment of over 300 million euros to enhance its capacity and technology. However, a posting on Madrid's Public Contracts Portal presents a different picture.
The hospital now outsources basic diagnostic tests, specifically ultrasound examinations, for patients from its 19 Primary Care centers. The justification for this contract, which is set to last six months and cost 139,700 euros, states that it aims to provide a faster and more effective response due to an increasing demand that could otherwise delay the completion of these tests with their own resources.
