About

Hospital Universitario La Paz stands as one of Spain's largest and most prestigious public teaching hospitals, inaugurated in July 1964 as the country's first modern hospital center under the National Health System. Located in the La Paz neighborhood of northern Madrid at Paseo de la Castellana 261, this tertiary care facility serves a catchment population exceeding 500,000 residents while receiving complex patient referrals from across Spain. Affiliated with the Autonomous University of Madrid since 1970, the hospital has maintained its position as Spain's best-reputed public hospital for six consecutive years according to the Health Reputation Monitor. The hospital complex encompasses approximately 1,300 beds distributed across four main buildings: the General Hospital, Traumatology and Rehabilitation Hospital, Children's Hospital, and Maternity Hospital. With 45 operating theaters and a medical staff of over 7,000 qualified professionals including 1,158 physicians and 564 residents, the facility manages substantial patient volumes annually. Recent data indicates approximately 50,000 inpatient admissions, over 200,000 emergency department visits, and more than 1.3 million outpatient consultations each year. The hospital pioneered Spain's MIR residency training program in 1967 and currently accommodates 580 residents across 53 medical specialties. Key specializations include cardiovascular disease, hematology, organ transplantation, neonatology, general and digestive surgery, oncology with integrated palliative care, and pediatric care. The hospital holds 27 Reference Centers, Services and Units (CSUR) designations from the Ministry of Health—the highest number in Spain for treating complex diseases. It coordinates the European Reference Network on Transplantation in Children (ERN Transplant-Child) and maintains ESMO accreditation for integrated oncology and palliative care. The affiliated Hospital Carlos III specializes in infectious diseases and served as Spain's primary treatment center during the 2014 Ebola outbreak. Research excellence is anchored through the Hospital La Paz Institute for Health Research (IdiPAZ), established in 2009 and accredited by the Instituto de Salud Carlos III. IdiPAZ hosts over 50 research groups across six strategic areas including neurosciences, cardiovascular research, infectious diseases, cancer, and transplantation. The hospital campus forms part of Spain's largest biomedical research hub, collaborating with neighboring institutions including the Alberto Sols Biomedical Research Institute and the Instituto de Salud Carlos III. Currently, Hospital Universitario La Paz is undergoing a €1 billion redevelopment project titled "La Ciudad de la Salud," scheduled for completion by 2032. This ambitious initiative will expand the facility to over 550,000 square meters with 1,140 beds, 49 operating rooms including hybrid and robotic suites, and 194 ICU positions. The hospital maintains comprehensive international patient services and continues to set standards for public healthcare excellence in Spain and Europe.
