Hospital de Mollet and Hospital Sagrat Cor have been accredited by the Government of Catalonia as university hospitals of the University of Barcelona. This recognition endorses the quality of the care services and the commitment to teaching and research of both centres, which until now had the status of UB-affiliated hospitals. With these two additions, the UB has seven university hospitals: Hospital Clínic de Barcelona, Hospital de Bellvitge, Hospital Sant Joan de Déu, Hospital Mutua de Terrassa, Hospital Moisès Broggi Hospital Complex and, now, Hospital Universitari de Mollet and Hospital Sagrat Cor.

Hospital de Mollet and Hospital Sagrat Cor have been accredited by the Government of Catalonia as university hospitals of the University of Barcelona. This recognition endorses the quality of the care services and the commitment to teaching and research of both centres, which until now had the status of UB-affiliated hospitals. With these two additions, the UB has seven university hospitals: Hospital Clínic de Barcelona, Hospital de Bellvitge, Hospital Sant Joan de Déu, Hospital Mutua de Terrassa, Hospital Moisès Broggi Hospital Complex and, now, Hospital Universitari de Mollet and Hospital Sagrat Cor.

The rector of the UB, Joan Guàrdia, highlights the work of the two centres “for the continuous improvement of their healthcare, teaching and research tasks”, and points out that “the University will continue to work together with the healthcare institutions for the citizens as a whole”. Guàrdia stresses that the accreditations of the new university hospitals “are a significant event that has a positive impact on a strategic area for us: the binomial between the UB and the associated health institutions”.

The Mollet University Hospital (Hospital Universitari de Mollet ) is the acute care hospital of the Mollet Health Foundation, which provides a public service to 165,000 people in Baix Vallès. It offers most of the medical and surgical specialities, and is a benchmark in nephrology and dialysis in the area. It is internationally recognized as a Green Hospital and organizes social projects through the Obra Social El Roure.

The Hospital Sagrat Cor, with a capacity of 332 beds, offers almost all medical and surgical specialities. It occupies a group of buildings located in the Esquerra de l’Eixample district of Barcelona. Managed by the Quirónsalud group, the hospital has undergone major infrastructural reforms to modernize and incorporate new technological equipment.
