History

The Hospital began construction 6 years before opening in 1956.[2] The hospital has scince been renovated several times and 3 additional buildings have been added to the complex. When created, the Hospital remained managed by the Spanish Health Authority under the rule of the Franco dictatorship of Spain. After the transition of power from the Spanish government to the Catalan Government (Generalitat de Catlunya), the hospital officially changed its language and name to Catalan and became a teaching hospital with its own School of Medicine and residentship program.[3][4]
