Family members of patients at the Arnau de Vilanova Hospital in Lleida are paying an average of 50 euros per day for essential services such as parking and food.

The financial burden is significant for those living outside the city. Underground parking costs 17.20 euros per day, and the daily menu at the hospital cafeteria is priced at 12.35 euros. Additionally, watching television in the patient's room costs 4.5 euros daily, leading to calls for more affordable rates.
For families requiring hotel accommodation, total costs can exceed 130 euros per night. Users are requesting dedicated shower facilities for relatives and special agreements with local hotels to support those staying with vulnerable or elderly patients during long-term recoveries.
In other news, the hospital recently hosted an open house for medical residents, offering 66 positions across 34 specialties to strengthen the healthcare workforce in the Lleida region.
