Ibiza hospitals struggle with nightlife-related medical emergencies
Hospitals in Ibiza are overwhelmed due to a surge in drug overdoses, alcohol-related incidents, and other medical emergencies linked to the island's nightlife. Emergency services are struggling to cope. The local healthcare system is strained, with ambulances frequently unavailable and emergency room staff overworked. The situation is exacerbated by the influx of young tourists and the lack of private ambulance requirements for nightclubs. Healthcare workers are calling for mandatory private ambulances at clubs to alleviate the burden on public services, as emergency calls have increased by 28% compared to the previous summer.
