The establishment of this Council was initiated by the Department of Social Welfare, Equality, Health Protection and Family, directed by Itziar Doval. 

Doval stated: “With this Council, we intend to put health as the centre of policies, know the general state of health, the lifestyle and health concerns of Calpines and identify which health problems are of most concern.” 

It was highlighted that not only will the Council promote healthy habits to  Calpe´s residents but it will also promote the active health resources and support groups in the community.
