Las Palmas, Spain – Patients at Hospital Insular in Las Palmas de Gran Canaria are enduring "inhumane and unsanitary" conditions due to a lack of air conditioning on the upper floors amidst a severe heatwave. A patient, who identified herself as being on the 10th floor, recorded a video on August 10, 2025, detailing the severe discomfort and health risks faced by patients and staff. "We are all having a horrible time," the patient stated in her video, highlighting that the absence of proper cooling not only makes conditions unbearable but also contributes to the spread of viruses and bacteria. She explained that while lower floors may have air conditioning, it does not reach the higher levels of the facility. A formal complaint has reportedly been filed with the hospital's patient services department. The video, which quickly gained traction online, has sparked public discussion, with many expressing sympathy and concern for the patients. Some comments from the public indicated that similar issues have been experienced in other hospital departments. The patient urged viewers to share her video, hoping to prompt a swift resolution to ensure a "dignified life" for those hospitalized.
