Vigo Health Plan Draws 2,000-Signature Pushback as Olimpia Valencia Move Targeted for Early 2026

Officials defend a €16 million consolidation that closes two clinics, centralizing pediatrics.

Overview

  • The primary-care commission filed 2,000 signatures opposing the closure of Nicolás Peña and the relocation of pediatrics to the new CIS Olimpia Valencia.
  • The health area says pediatrics from Nicolás Peña, López Mora, Coia and Pintor Colmeiro will be grouped at the new center with a total of 11 pediatricians.
  • Management informed unions the transfer is planned for the first quarter of 2026, with construction finishing at the former court building on Lalín street.
  • Unions report more than 100 users have already requested reassignment from Nicolás Peña in anticipation of its closure.
  • Sergas frames the project as a €16 million upgrade adding services such as physiotherapy, dentistry, pharmacy, social work, nutrition and midwifery, while unions and Vigo’s mayor criticize it for breaking primary-care teams.
