Admission of patients

After receiving a request, we contact the person to obtain the necessary information and inform them of the possible treatments of their health problem. If the person knows which specialist they want to perform the treatment, they can tell us. Otherwise, we assess the specific case with a multidisciplinary team to take a decision. If the person’s residence is far from our hospital, they may opt for the first visit being done online, which avoids having to make a second trip, and come directly for the procedure, after having accepted the estimated price, with the entire process programmed and planned.

First visit at our hospital

The reception area, examination rooms and spacious waiting room for those who visit Fundació Puigvert - Barcelona Centre Privat are located in a dedicated area in the basement of our hospital. The admissions service offers all the indications guests will need to get around during their stay, and, from that moment onwards, we guarantee the confidentiality of their data.

Medical and logistic accompaniment

We offer medical and logistic accompaniment throughout the hospital stay to ensure that all the steps of the process are completed as planned. We also offer an ambulance service and we provide transport in taxi in the event that tests must be performed in another healthcare centre.

Hospitalisation and hospital stay

The installations of Fundació Puigvert - Barcelona Centre Privat are spacious and comfortable, meeting the needs of patients and their families or those accompanying them. The hospitalisation floor (fourth floor) also has common areas.

Private rooms

The rooms of Fundació Puigvert - Barcelona Centre Privat are designed for a single patient. They feature independent areas for patients and for those accompanying them in order to facilitate rest, privacy and autonomy. We have five suites and nine standard rooms. Each room is furnished with a sofa bed for the party accompanying the patient, a telephone, an in-house WiFi network and a television (4K smart TV with 43” screen, with DTT, international channels, football, films and à-la-carte series).

Rest and security

The beds in the rooms of Fundació Puigvert - Barcelona Centre Privat are equipped with an easy-to-use electric system that controls movements and a system for alerting the nurses’ station, located at the head of each bed.

Private and adapted bathroom

All the rooms of Fundació Puigvert - Barcelona Centre Privat feature their own bathrooms with an adapted shower to provide our patients with the greatest comfort, security and intimacy. With high-quality cotton towels that we wash on site.

High-quality diet

Each patient is visited daily for monitoring by a dietician. We have an expert chef with international experience who is wholly dedicated to the patients of Fundació Puigvert. Our à-la-carte meal service is adapted to the needs of each patient (and accompanying party), with breakfast in a display cart on demand. Our room service also offers extra meals on demand in each room.

Highest specialised-care ratio

In Barcelona, our hospital has the highest ratio of specialists in advanced nursing practice per number of hospital beds and per number of advanced nursing practitioners. Our nursing team account for around half of our workforce. Owing to their specialisation and experience in caring for patients, we can guarantee integral care that enhances patients’ security, quality and experience.

Clinical expertise and excellence

Fundació Puigvert has over 60 years of experience in healthcare and research in urology, nephrology, andrology and reproductive medicine. Since we receive the greatest number of patients with urogenital and kidney disorders, our team of professionals are highly specialised and have lengthy experience in the diagnosis and treatment of such disorders, even in the rarest of them. Every year, we process over 100,000 medical examinations and we perform over 6,000 operations, nearly 200 of them with robotic surgery, and over 100 kidney transplants.

Single-speciality and supraspecialised hospital

With a workforce of over 700 professionals, we have over 20 specialised units that focus on different techniques and health aspects within our fields of specialisation: robotic surgery, kidney transplants, kidney stones, urinal incontinence, chronic kidney disease and dialysis, fertility conservation, erectile dysfunction, orphan kidney diseases and paediatric urology, among others. We also have our own specialised laboratories and we participate in different types of research projects.

Nationally and internationally acclaimed

Fundació Puigvert has been and remains a pioneer in:

• Non-invasive surgery, such as laparoscopy, laser technology and robotic surgery with the Da Vinci and Hugo robotic systems.
• Live donor kidney transplants
• Assisted reproduction technology
• Kidney stones (urinary lithiasis)

We are a leading centre in different specialities and treatments in regional, national and European terms. Among other distinctions, we are among the European Prostate Cancer Centres of Excellence (EPCCE). We are a member of over 30 national and international societies in the field of our specialisation. Our motto is: care, research and dissemination of knowledge.

Nonprofit

We are a privately owned, nonprofit, university hospital centre. All our surplus is reinvested in improving our care of our patients, technological capacity, research and the ongoing training of our medical and specialised nursing professionals. In this sense, although we have agreements with regional healthcare authorities in Catalonia that authorise us to provide public healthcare services, progress in medicine, improvement of infrastructures and equipment as well as the training of specialists all depend on the contributions and donations we receive from society.

Patient-oriented approach

In addition to our in-person and remote accompaniment and monitoring of our patients, we organise conferences and workshops for patients and their families to inform them and to make it easier for them to deal with the day-to-day challenges of certain limiting pathologies and dysfunctions. We also prepare and distribute instructive materials that help patients to understand and deal with their illnesses.
