The provincial health authority (ASP) in Trapani is implementing several healthcare expansions and service improvements. In July 2026, the extraordinary commissioner approved a €41.066 million project for the Sant'Antonio Abate Hospital. This expansion includes a new four-storey building featuring two radiotherapy bunkers, an 18-bed sub-intensive care unit, an operating block with four theatres, and various specialized surgical wards.
