Campus Clínic Solidari (Solidarity Campus Clínic) aims to optimize the synergies and commitment to international and local cooperation by all the entities that make up Campus Clínic: the Hospital Clínic Barcelona, the Faculty of Medicine and Health Sciences, CAPSBE, IDIBAPS, ISGlobal and the Món Clínic Barcelona Private Foundation.
Their experience, knowledge, individuals, resources and partnerships are all focused on contributing to the global challenges of global health.
The aim is for all the Campus professionals and students to get to know and learn about the global needs and challenges of health cooperation; to collaborate in local and international health cooperation projects; to care for people in vulnerable situations; to foster and promote teaching, training and research in health cooperation; and to establish Campus Clínic’s cooperation and commitment as a value recognized by society.
In recent conflicts and emergency situations, Campus Clínic Solidari has collaborated by sending medical equipment and material from the Hospital Clínic that was withdrawn for renewal, but which can have a second useful life by being used to create a field hospital in Ukraine and also helping those affected by the earthquake in Morocco.
What does Campus Clínic Solidari do?
Campus Clínic Solidari works in different strategic lines:
-
Twinning with health centres in Mozambique and other regions that have the potential to host healthcare, teaching and/or research projects
-
Intervention in health emergencies by providing medical material for remote support, as in the case of the Field Hospital in Ukraine or the intervention in the Moroccan earthquake.
-
Call for grants to fund projects proposed by Campus Clínic professionals to develop their own or third-party initiatives. To date, over 150 international projects have been funded.
-
Collaboration with NGOs and the Third Sector through stable agreements and one-off actions to ensure help gets to where it is needed; such as for example Open Arms, Bombers Solidaris, Fundació Exit, Fundació Vicente Ferrer or the Fundació Convent de Santa Clara, promoted by Sister Lucia Caram.
-
Training through courses and conferences to share knowledge with the twinned centres and others where cooperation projects can be developed.
Healthcare and non-healthcare professionals, teachers and students and research personnel from all the institutions in the Campus can all participate in Campus Clínic Solidari.
