Hospiten Lanzarote is celebrating its 25th anniversary on the island. The hospital facility, which was recognised in 2023 among the best private hospitals in Spain, with the award for ‘Global Hospital Management’ in the Small Private Hospitals segment awarded by IQVIA, has attended more than 400,000 patients during its first twenty-five years of activity in Lanzarote.
For Juan José Hernández, Hospiten’s executive chairman, ‘we are proud to be able to celebrate this first quarter of a century of commitment to health, excellence and personalised care for our patients. Since Hospiten was founded 55 years ago, we have worked tirelessly to offer medical services of the highest quality, continually innovating to adapt to the needs of the Lanzarote community and its visitors throughout these 25 years’.
The event was attended by local authorities such as H.E. Ms. Migdalia Machín Tavío, Councillor for Universities, Science and Innovation and Culture of the Government of the Canary Islands; Ms. Nori Machín, Councillor for the Elderly and Intergenerational Relations of the Cabildo of Lanzarote; and Mr. José Juan Cruz Saavedra, Mayor of Tías. Juan José Hernández dedicated a special mention to all the authorities; ‘Once again, I reiterate my thanks to all the authorities, present and not present at this event, of the island of Lanzarote. It is thanks to all of you that we have been able to embark on this journey’.
Commitment to patients and innovation
Since its inauguration in Puerto del Carmen, Hospiten Lanzarote has attended more than 400,000 patients, performed 25,000 surgeries and more than 300,000 emergency patients. This has been possible thanks to the more than 1,000 people who have worked at the centre over the last 25 years.
The hospital has also been committed from the outset to technology and innovation as fundamental pillars of patient care, incorporating, among other technologies, augmented reality in the implantation of knee prostheses and dermatological imaging.
‘At Hospiten Lanzarote, we are committed to continuing to evolve, integrating the latest technologies and medical techniques to improve the quality of life of our patients. We are deeply grateful to all those who have been part of the history of Hospiten Lanzarote, from our professionals to our patients, and we reaffirm our commitment to continue providing close, professional and human healthcare for many years to come’, said Juan José Hernández.
