Abstract
u
Vall d’Hebron University Hospital is a healthcare,
teaching, and research complex formed by over 22
buildings and 7,000 professionals at the service of
health and of patients. It operates a budget of 536
million euros, making it the largest hospital complex
in Catalonia and one of the largest in Spain. It is
located at the foot of the Collserola Hills, on the
northern edge of the city of Barcelona, and its
catchment area includes the neighbourhoods of
Horta-Guinardó, Nou Barris and Sant Andreu, plus the
town of Montcada i Reixac: a combined population
of over 400,000 inhabitants. Vall d’Hebron is a referral
hospital in high-complexity tertiary procedures for
Catalonia, Spain and the international community.
Specifically, it is a state-wide referral centre for 20
CSUR (Spanish Health Service centres, services and
referral units) and a tertiary referral centre in
Catalonia for burns, spinal cord injuries, polytrauma
cases, Marfan syndrome, inflammatory bowel disease,
multiple sclerosis, neonatology and foetal surgery.
In this regard, Vall d’Hebron is committed to a new
medicine, with its sights set on the frontiers
of knowledge. A medicine that, based on an
understanding of the functioning of biomolecules
and biological processes, is capable of introducing
innovative interventions that will boost the
development of a healthier, more caring society.
The hospital complex is structured into three main
care hospitals: the General Hospital, the Mother
and Baby Hospital, and the Trauma Care and
Rehabilitation Hospital. There is an Outpatient
Surgery Unit at the nearby Pere Virgili Healthcare
Park, and the Hospital has also extended its activity to
different primary healthcare centres in Catalonia.
With over 1,100 beds, Vall d’Hebron uses a patient-
centred management model to provide its services
and demonstrates its commitment to the future
through teaching, research and innovation, while
promoting participation in Catalan, Spanish and
European research projects. Quality is a core value for
professionals who work at the Hospital, and this has
led to it acquiring prestige as a point of reference
both in Spain and abroad. Vall d’Hebron takes part in
the initiatives laid out by the Catalan Health Institute,
the public company to which it belongs, and by the
Catalan Ministry of Health.
The Vall d’Hebron complex encompasses practically all
medical and surgical specialities, offering the
healthcare modalities and nursing care required to
cover them, as well as clinical services and clinical
support units, university teaching centres, public
healthcare services companies, research centres,
laboratories and other facilities that complete the
Hospital’s healthcare activity.
