WHOEVER LOSES THEIR MEMORY LOSES THEIR IDENTITY
The hospital harks back to 1409 when Friar Juan Gilabert Jofré considered the need to establish a hospital for those lacking any kind of medical care. It was on this Hospital dels Folls that Ignocents I Orats was to erect the General Hospital, the result of an arbitral award pronounced by the Council, on 17th April 1512, to bring together all the hospitals in the town of Valencia. King Fernando the Catholic issued a privilege, that same year, which authorized this sentence.
BENCHMARK HOSPITAL
In 2007, the Consortium was commissioned with managing the 23 health centres dependent on the Council of Health, subsequently managing the entire Health Department of Valencia – the General Hospital. The Department deals with all the needs in health care of the 364,255 inhabitants residing in its geographical area. As a benchmark hospital in all specialities, it also attends to patients from other Health Departments.
The hospital has specific accredited benchmark units due to its high level of specialization, solvency, functionality, coordination of health resources, efficiency as well as technical and scientific prestige. These units have more than 1 million people assigned from the whole of the Regional Community of Valencia. Out of its fields of clinical management, in view of the consolidated trajectory of efficiency and care quality, attention is drawn to the Cardiovascular Institute (ICV) and the Biomedical Diagnostics Centre (CDB).
