“One of the rooms in the new delivery unit has been decorated with a large photographic mural of the Flowering of Cieza, the work of Fernando Galindo”

The La Vega Hospital has had the happy idea of dressing up its new delivery unit with large murals of images of corners of the Region of Murcia, one of whose rooms has been decorated with an 8 square metre photograph of the Flowering of Cieza.

In these new rooms, mothers will have a much more pleasant waiting environment, taking into account that they must remain in them for several hours before and after giving birth.

The four rooms of the new unit have been equipped with the latest technology and decorated with images of our Region such as a panoramic view of Murcia capital from the Cristo de Monteagudo, the Cabo de Palos lighthouse, the flowering of Cieza, and a general view of the Segura River with La Glorieta de España and the tower of the Cathedral.

We are told that "the most important thing about this inauguration is the privacy and comfort offered to the pregnant woman (monitoring, dilation, expulsion and postpartum) in addition to being able to be accompanied at all times" says Mª José Lorenzo, Director of Nursing at Hospital La Vega.

«The monitoring centre allows the midwife and gynaecologist to see the progress of the future mother without having to be in the room all the time. This data is stored in the integrated clinical documentation system, a further step in the hospital's commitment to patient safety. Another important innovation is the birthing beds that allow the pregnant woman to attend the birth from the position she chooses» concludes Mª José Lorenzo.

The flowering of Cieza attracts the world of art and decoration.

The Floración de Cieza It has become a source of inspiration for photographers and artists of all kinds, and has now reached the interior decoration of buildings that see in the chromatic variety that is drawn each year in the fields of Cieza an original way of adding colour to their walls.

Restaurants, private clinics, public buildings, etc. have shown great interest in this idea, and it opens up new possibilities for people to continue to learn about this natural wonder that reaches its maximum splendor in Cieza from the end of February.
