Quirónsalud Sagrado Corazón Hospital Named Among Spain’s Best in General Surgery and Digestive Health
Forbes magazine’s annual ranking recognizes the hospital’s excellence in complex surgical procedures and innovation, solidifying its position as a national leader.
The Quirónsalud Sagrado Corazón Hospital has earned a prestigious distinction, being named by Forbes magazine as one of the top hospitals in Spain specializing in General Surgery and the Digestive System. This recognition positions the hospital as a national benchmark in these critical medical fields. Notably, it is the only private healthcare center in Andalusia to be included in Forbes’ comprehensive list of the best hospitals by specialty in Spain.
A Center of Excellence in Surgical Innovation
The hospital’s General Surgery and Digestive System Service is lauded for its commitment to healthcare excellence, pioneering surgical techniques, and the high caliber of its medical professionals. Led by Dr. Salvador Morales, a nationally recognized surgeon, the service excels in addressing highly complex medical cases. The team possesses extensive experience in treating a wide range of conditions, including those affecting the hepatobiliary, pancreatic, colorectal, endocrine, and abdominal wall systems.
A key strength lies in the service’s adoption of advanced surgical methods. They are at the forefront of utilizing minimally invasive techniques, image-guided surgery, and increasingly incorporating robot-assisted procedures to improve patient outcomes. Further enhancing its capabilities, the hospital’s specialized unit for obesity surgery has been supported by the Center of Excellence in the Treatment of Obesity since 2021, cementing its reputation for advanced and highly specialized surgical care.
