Barcelona has top quality health-care centres working every day with and for the people. One of these is the Hospital del Mar, whose twofold clinical and research work has made it a national benchmark. It was founded in 1905, where the old Casa de la Sanitat quarantine hospital had once stood centuries before. Its history is intimately linked to both the city and the sea.
A potted history
A public hospital was officially opened in 1905 on the original site of the no longer extant 16th-century Casa de la Sanitat quarantine centre. Its mission was to look after people who had come down with yellow fever and cholera, two diseases ravaging the city at the time. A century later, the hospital covered practically every medical and surgical speciality, standing out as a pioneering centre for health care, training and research.
Following its extension in 2008, its present-day latest-generation technical equipment and exceptional human team enable it to provide quality health care and develop research programmes centred on the medicine of the future.
Providing health care services for residents in Barcelona’s two maritime districts – Ciutat Vella and Sant Martí, Hospital del Mar is a vital organ for the city and a benchmark hospital for the country.
Teamwork
Hospital del Mar is part of Parc de Salut Mar, an organisation that integrates all levels of social and health care. It includes Hospital de l’Esperança, Centre Fòrum, the IMIM (Institut Hospital del Mar for Medical Research) and the Mar Higher School of Nursing.
