Cabo Cope

THE Cabo Cope and Puntas de Calnegre Regional Park, are nestled in the enchanting region of Murcia. Spanning across a 17kms coastline along the bay of Mazarrón, this protected area is a treasure trove of unspoiled wonders. The most distinctive feature lies in its unique beach, distinguished by towering cliffs and breathtaking yellow walls sculpted by nature’s artistic touch.

Sadly, the park’s tranquillity is currently under threat by the looming Marina de Cope development project. This ambitious venture intends to rezone a significant portion of the park, paving the way for the construction of a sprawling tourist complex. the safety of the residents.

Preserving the Cabo Cope and Puntas de Calnegre Regional Park is of utmost importance. It not only safeguards the aweinspiring landscape but also protects the diverse array of plant and animal species that call this area their home.

3D Technology

FOUR hospitals in the Region of Murcia have integrated 3D technology into their ophthalmology operations, enhancing surgical procedures related to the retina, cataracts, and corneal transplants.

The Murcia Health Service (SMS) has furnished La Arrixaca, Morales Meseguer, Reina Sofía, and Rosell (Cartagena Hospital Complex) with digital ophthalmological surgical microscopes equipped with 3D capabilities.

Since the implementation of this advanced equipment, approximately 15 surgeries per week have been conducted. The innovative microscopes allow ophthalmologists to move away from observing the surgical field through traditional binoculars and instead utilise a much larger and more detailed image projected onto a 55­inch screen positioned near the patient’s feet.

With the aid of 3D glasses, surgeons can now operate with a fully immersive 3D vision, enabling increased precision during intricate procedures.
