New Vithas-led hospital unveiled in Barcelona, projected to revolutionize healthcare in Catalonia
New Private Hospital Opens in Esplugues de Llobregat
In the heart of Catalonia, a new chapter in healthcare begins with the opening of the Vithas Barcelona Hospital. The state-of-the-art facility, spanning 39,000 square metres, is the 22nd in the Vithas group and the fifth in Catalonia.
Set to open its doors to patients in the second half of October 2025, the hospital offers a wide range of services, including oncology, cardiology, neurosciences, and maternal-infant health. It boasts 14 operating theatres and more than 160 single rooms, ensuring a comfortable and healing environment for its patients.
The hospital is committed to the region, as shown by its long-term presence in Catalonia. It operates under the same Joint Commission International standards that certify other Vithas centres worldwide, ensuring excellence in safety and medical quality. The hospital's promise is a combination of medical excellence, human care, and sustainability.
The Vithas Barcelona Hospital opens as a carbon-neutral facility in gas and electricity consumption. Every detail in the hospital has been designed to create 'healing spaces'. The hospital's digital patient management is handled through the Vithas One platform, ensuring smooth and efficient operations.
Local mayor Eduard Sanz has welcomed the hospital as a new addition to the town, emphasizing its potential integration into the business and social fabric of Esplugues. Miquel Sàmper, Catalonia's Minister of Business and Labour, has praised the hospital for its role in job creation and public-private collaboration.
Once fully operational, the hospital will employ more than 1,800 healthcare and support professionals. The leadership of the Vithas Barcelona Hospital is taken over by Dr. Arnau Pujol Puigvert. The hospital's strategic step in Vithas' national expansion aims to make it a benchmark for healthcare in Catalonia.
The hospital has separate circuits for adults and children, offering urgent care 24/7. It is equipped to handle a variety of medical emergencies, providing peace of mind to the community it serves. The Vithas Barcelona Hospital in Esplugues de Llobregat is a beacon of hope and progress in the world of healthcare.
