Hospital Quirónsalud Málaga is celebrating 15 years of serving the people of Málaga and the surrounding area since it opened in November 2009. During these years, the hospital has grown in size, technology and experience. But its real strength is its people: doctors, nurses, assistants, technicians and all the professionals whose dedication and hard work have built its history, accompanying each patient with empathy and professionalism.
In total, more than a thousand people, including more than 200 doctors, make up Quirónsalud Málaga Hospital team, who work every day with a common goal: to look after the health of the people of Málaga.
State-of-the-art equipment
With 179 beds and 145 private rooms, Quirónsalud Malaga Hospital has the most advanced diagnostic and therapeutic equipment, including eight general operating theatres, four CMA operating theatres, two hybrid operating theatres, three endoscopy rooms, three MRI scanners, two of which are 3 Tesla, an LEA (Linear Electron Accelerator), a SPECT and a PET-CT scanner, as well as clinical analysis, pathological anatomy and assisted reproduction laboratories.
All this equipment provides professionals with the best tools and highly specialised care to meet the many challenges of medicine with quality and humane treatment.
Key milestones
During this time, many milestones have been reached in the commitment to excellence in care. The General and Digestive Surgery Service and the Urology Service now occupy a prominent position and are benchmarks in their respective fields. The hospital is also a reference centre for oncological gynaecology, assisted reproduction and obstetrics, with one of the lowest rates of caesarean sections, instrumental births and episiotomies of any private hospital in Andalusia. It was also the first private hospital in the province to be authorised to perform corneal transplants, and its thoracic surgery team is one of the most experienced in Spain in uniportal thoracic surgery, the least invasive treatment for lung cancer. The Haematology and Haemotherapy Service has also pioneered autologous bone marrow transplants.
These are not the only services that have made a difference. The vascular and endovascular surgery team is a benchmark in highly complex venous pathologies and vascular compression syndromes; the ear, nose and throat service is a pioneer in the treatment of vertigo and profound deafness using cochlear implants and implantable ear devices.
Hospital Quirónsalud Málaga also has an Emergency Department that has been consolidated over the years as an example of quality care and differential circuits. The Traumatology Service is also a reference in all bone, traumatic, degenerative, infectious, tumour and sarcoma pathology.
In addition to the Intensive Care Unit for adults, the hospital has a Neonatal Intensive Care Unit, which is the best equipped in the private health sector in Malaga, prepared for the care of extremely premature babies and newborns from the 23rd week of pregnancy.
In addition, Quirónsalud Hospital Málaga offers a new range of health screening and early diagnosis programmes.
Looking to the future
Over the last 15 years, Quirónsalud healthcare network in the province of Málaga has expanded to include the Quirónsalud Malaga Medical Centre in La Malagueta and the Quirónsalud Parque Litoral Medical Centre, the Oncohaematology Day Hospital and Rehabilitation and Physiotherapy Area, the Quirónsalud Day Hospital and Surgical Day Hospital with Major Outpatient Surgery Unit, a Comprehensive Oncology Department with Radiotherapy and Nuclear Medicine, and a Laboratory and Clinical Analysis Centre.
The Quirónsalud Group currently has seven hospitals in Andalusia, located in the cities of Málaga, Marbella, Los Barrios (Cádiz), two in Seville, Córdoba and Huelva, as well as 17 specialist and diagnostic medical centres and a Surgical Day Hospital, making it the leading private hospital in this autonomous region.
