Space Ibiza, a club that is always visionary, is also a club that is committed and responsible, as demonstrated by providing a service to its existing nursing professionals, thus becoming the first club in the Balearic Islands, and probably also in Spain that provides health care in a fun environment. The project started in 2005 in collaboration with Andres García, director for the last two years of Emergency Staff. The purpose was to respond swiftly, and immediately should any unforeseen emergency event occur, ensuring the comfort and welfare of all guests. Why have to go home for a slight nuisance caused by new shoes, when with a plaster at hand on site, you can say goodbye to the problem and continue to enjoy your evening?
Similarly, since the service avoids unnecessary travel to health centres on the island, Space Ibiza is helping to alleviate the activity of some places which are overworked in the summer season because of a growing population, that now reaches point multiply by 10, and consequently, to reduce public spending on public health.
The Professional Nursing Service will again be operating in 2009 and enjoys first class facilities. Empowered to professional effect, the tent has a bathroom and air conditioning, a stretcher-art defibrillator, plus a diploma in Nursing, the only people authorized to use the machine, since the automated law which was enforced in late 2008.
A novel and effective project, now subsequently exported to other dance halls on the island, with Space Ibiza once again demonstrating why it is the best club in the world.
Hospital campaign
In late 2007 Space Ibiza donated to The Red Cross a field hospital, a facility that is useful for the island as the director of the NGO, Rafael Garcia.
This is a fast inflatable installation (in 7 minutes), equipped with six boxes equipped with good health care. Since its donation, the field hospital has been used in several cultural and sporting events that have taken place on the island, three emergency drills.
"We are very grateful to Space Ibiza for an altruistic action that benefits everyone. The hospital has been in the last two editions of Eivissa Medieval and Sample Solidarias Entities in the latter event as a hospital for blood collection. It has also been available to the last of the Salt Route and has been used in a fire drill conducted by the Forestry Department of Emergency and two traffic accidents carried out by firefighters in Ibiza San tunnels San Rafael and figures, "explains the director of Red Cross”.
The hospital will re-settle in the opening party of Space Ibiza, on May 31, until the closure of the 2009 season, on October 4.
