Partnerships and linked entities

The Hospital Clínic de Barcelona promotes partnerships with different healthcare institutions in order to share knowledge and resources, so as to ensure the highest quality healthcare processes and guarantee the sustainability of the public health service. To progress in preventive, predictive and personalized medicine, to treat patients with maximum accessibility and do so at the patient's house whenever possible, and at a health centre if not, and only in a hospital when the technological requirements make it essential, involves working in collaboration with many other organizations to ensure the patient's well-being.

Local strategic partnerships

• Barcelona Esquerra Integrated Health Area (AISBE). The Hospital Clínic forms part of the Barcelona Esquerra Integrated Health Area (AISBE), where it carries out work in coordination with the professionals from 19 Basic Health Areas, four hospitals (Clínic, Plató, Sagrat Cor and Sant Joan de Déu de Barcelona) and other healthcare providers that serve a population of over 540,000 people in the districts of Sants-Montjuïc, Les Corts, Sarrià, Sarrià-Sant Gervasi and the Eixample.
• Hospital de Sant Joan de Déu de Barcelona. The Hospital Clínic has a partnership with the Hospital Sant Joan de Déu de Barcelona in order to ensure continuity of care during the transition from child to adult health services. When children grow older and are no longer cared for at the Sant Joan de Déu children’s hospital, they are treated at the Hospital Clínic. Moreover, the two hospitals manage the Gynaecology, Obstetrics and Neonatology specialities in an integrated manner.
• C17. The C-17 strategic partnership encourages the various hospital institutions in the Vallès Oriental and Osona regions – the Consorci Hospitalari de Vic, the Fundació Sanitària Mollet, the Hospital General de Granollers and the Hospital de Sant Celoni – to collaborate, coordinate and share resources with the Hospital Clínic, which acts as a tertiary referral hospital for this area.
