The Hospital Universitario Fundación Jiménez Díaz (HUFJD) has undergone a significant evolution since its foundation in 1935 as the Instituto de Investigaciones Médicas. It has been a cornerstone in the history of medical and clinical research in the country, due to the implementation of pioneering medical procedures, being the first Hospital to perform heart surgery, to establish an ICU, etc. In addition, it is an institution committed to medical education, promoting the first postgraduate teaching programs (MIR) since 1960, and integrated in the Medicine Teaching Program of the Universidad Autónoma de Madrid since 1970.

Translational Oncology division bases its main research activity on Translational Oncology. Since the beginning of its activity at the IIS-FJD in 2012, it has incorporated relevant senior researchers with extensive experience in different fields of biomedical research. The strategy is aligned with the fusion of the background and trajectory of each senior researcher to undertake common objectives. As a result, the group has obtained notable achievements such as patents, research projects, more than 90 scientific articles, doctoral theses, etc. This environment, together with the collaboration of key departments such as Pathology and Surgery, and the support of South Texas Accelerated Research Therapeutics, makes the group a reference laboratory in Translational Oncology.

Established in Paseo Isabel la Catolica, 1 (Spain).

Our hospital is the largest in Aragon and the fifth hospital in Spain with the largest number of beds. Some services are a reference for other hospitals in the Autonomous Community of Aragon and also for other neighbouring autonomous communities.

It is a National Reference Centre (CSUR) for multiple sclerosis and performs kidney, heart, bone marrow, cornea, bone and tendon transplants.

Specialised care is also provided at the ‘Ramón y Cajal’ and ‘San José’ Specialty Medical Centres.

The more than 8,000 workers who make our hospital’s day-to-day work possible are constantly updating our training to offer personalised, quality healthcare.

Established in Av. Manuel Siurot, s/n (Spain).

The General Hospital was inaugurated on 22 January 1955. It has been treating patients for more than half a century and has been training residents for more than half of that time.

From 1938 to 1963, the period known as the harmonisation and development of Social Security in our country took place, with the creation of the Compulsory Health Insurance (S.O.E.), the Labour Mutual Societies, the Institute of Medicine and Hygiene in the Workplace, etc. Between the General Scheme and the Special Social Security Schemes, a high percentage of the population became beneficiaries of the Health Insurance Health Services.

In order to meet the needs of the insured with their own resources, a series of hospitals were built throughout the country, which became known as ‘Residencias Sanitarias’, to ‘differentiate’ them from the in-patient health centres of the Charity called ‘Hospitals’. The Residencias were also called Instituciones Cerradas (Closed Institutions), which differed from the Open Institutions (consulting rooms and outpatient clinics) because of the closed, in-patient regime (hospitalisation) in which patients were treated. They were generally located in the capitals of each province. The one in our city was located in the southern area, in the grounds of the old Exhibition of 1929.

The centre was called Residencia García Morato until 1984, when it was renamed Hospital General (HG); it had eleven floors and 690 beds, assigned to the services of Internal Medicine, Surgery and Specialities, Gynaecology and Paediatrics. Later, coinciding with the progressive increase in demand, which exceeded the hospital’s possibilities, new centres were built and incorporated:

On 16 June 1968, the Rehabilitation and Traumatology Hospital (HRT) was inaugurated, with 325 beds and new specialities. After the opening of this second hospital, the complex was called Ciudad Sanitaria Virgen del Rocío. Other services were added, such as the School of Nurses (interns) located in the current Laboratory Building.

It soon had MIR Postgraduate Training: The first promotion joined on 2 May 1969 and consisted of 24 Internal Doctors, some of whom are still active in 2008.

Then the Maternity Hospital was built, inaugurated on 16th April 1971, with 356 beds and the Children’s Hospital, inaugurated on 1st May 1971, with 352 beds. It has buildings such as a Thermal Power Station, Laundry and Stores. Subsequently, the Diagnosis and Treatment Centre (CDT) and Pathological Anatomy (AP) buildings were built, inaugurated on 1st February 1978.

In 1986, as a result of the Decree regulating the Hospitals and their governing bodies published that year, the Health City was renamed the Virgen del Rocío Hospital. Since 29 October 1987, when the agreement with the University of Seville was signed and undergraduate medical teaching began (in application of the University Reform Act of 1986), it has been called the Virgen del Rocío University Hospital.

On 2nd March 1992, the former Provincial Oncology Hospital ‘Duque del Infantado’ (which in 1929 was the Basque Pavilion at the Ibero-American Exhibition) was incorporated into the hospital and is now used for general purposes, with special areas for Major Outpatient Surgery and Palliative Care; it has more than 100 beds.

In all these centres of the health complex, in addition to the care of patients assigned to the hospital area, there is undergraduate medical and nursing teaching, specialised nursing training, continuing education for all levels (health and non-health) and specialised postgraduate medical training in 43 accredited Teaching Units (UD; doctors, pharmacists, psychologists, biologists, biochemists and radiophysicists).

In 2006, the Institute of Biomedicine of Seville (IBIS) was created by virtue of an agreement signed by the Ministry of Health of the Andalusian Regional Government, the Ministry of Innovation, Science and Enterprise of the Andalusian Regional Government, the Andalusian Health Service, the University of Seville and the Higher Council for Scientific Research. It incorporated an innovative project that allows the training and development of translational research and MIR training in our Centre: the MIR HUVR-IBIS programme. The strategic objective is to generate synergies and research alliances between the different care services and the research groups based at IBIS by creating the figure of the MIR-researcher.

Established in Carretera Ofra s/n. La Laguna 38320 Santa Cruz de Tenerife (Spain).

The University Hospital of the Canary Islands (HUC) received its first patients on 17th July 1971 after the closure of the Hospital Nuestra Señora de los Desamparados. That same year an agreement was signed for its use by the Faculty of Medicine to carry out healthcare and teaching activities.

Also in 1971, an agreement was approved between the Island Council and the Social Security, which meant that it was opened to the entire population of the Island. In 1983 it was renamed the University Hospital of the Canary Islands.

The purpose of the HUC is to carry out the health care activities of the hospital itself, as well as those of the External Mental Health Area and the Specialised Care Centres (CAEs) of the northern area, the provision of care for the reference services assigned at provincial or regional level, the training of undergraduates and postgraduates in Medicine, Nursing, Physiotherapy and other Health Sciences, and research in these fields.

At present, the University Hospital of the Canary Islands forms part of the University Hospital Complex of the Canary Islands together with the Hospital del Norte, the External Mental Health Area and the Specialised Care Centres (CAEs) of La Laguna, La Orotava and Puerto de la Cruz.

It is a reference hospital for living and cross-donor kidney transplants, renopancreatic transplants, implantation of sacral neurostimulators, congenital metabolopathies and treatment of human infertility. It has also been designated as the reference hospital for the province of Santa Cruz de Tenerife for kidney transplants and heart surgery.
