Appointments of Pediatricians in the Canary Islands' Health Service

Overview

The Canary Islands' Health Service has officially appointed 15 pediatricians as permanent staff after a lengthy process of stabilizing long-term temporary workers.

This move marks a significant step in:

  • reducing the reliance on temporary healthcare workers,
  • providing greater job security for these medical professionals,
  • and improving the stability of healthcare services in the region.

  • In January 2026, the proposals for candidates were submitted.
  • Some vacancies remained unfilled due to resignations.
  • The final appointments were published on June 21, 2026.
