Mallorca's Son Llàtzer honours 40-plus doctors

Mallorca's Son Llàtzer University Hospital in Palma honours more than 40 doctors who have worked there since it opened 25 years ago: on Friday, 13 November, they are at the heart of a gathering of current staff, retirees and former colleagues.

Some of the long-serving doctors recall the hospital's early years and the changes they have seen. The event is the hospital's second Doctors and Medical Staff Day, the Balearic Islands Health Ministry says.

The hospital also pays tribute to retired colleagues, 45 of whom had confirmed they would attend, and remembers 13 colleagues who have died. Younger doctors have a place in the programme too. Fellow doctors choose Manuel Gómez of internal medicine for a resident doctor award, while Tolo Lladó, Son Llàtzer's first resident doctor, receives a special mention.
