Hospital Universitario La Paz
The Hospital Universitario La Paz, HULP, is a large hospital in Madrid, Spain. It is a general tertiary hospital situated in the La Paz neighbourhood, an area in the north of the Spanish capital that takes its name from the hospital. It is affiliated to the Madrid Regional Health Care System (''Servicio Madrileño de Salud''-SERMAS) a branch of the Commonwealth of Madrid (the autonomous region's executive administration).The hospital opened in July 1964, being at that time the first modern hospital centre in the country. It was named to celebrate the 25 years of francoist peace after the Spanish Civil War. Today, it remains one of the largest hospitals in Madrid by number of in-patients (it serves a population in excess of 500.000 people) and one of the biggest in Spain by the number of beds. Remarkably, it was named the best-valued public-owned hospital in 2018. Among its wards they are particularly renowned the ones devoted to Cardiovascular disease, Hematology, General and Digestive Surgery, Neonatology and Organ transplantation. Moreover, the HULP coordinates a European Reference Network for pediatric transplantation, funded by the European Commission.
HULP's headquarters are concentrated in a campus at the northern end of ''Paseo de la Castellana'' avenue and comprises 18 buildings that forms three major separate hospitals: General, '''Children's and Trauma'''. Administratively, the HULP also includes the smaller ''Hospital de Cantoblanco'' and Hospital Carlos III. ''Hospital Carlos III'' houses the infectious diseases area and it is widely recognized by hosting patients of both Ebola, during the 2013-2016 West-Africa Ebola outbreak, and Crimean–Congo hemorrhagic fever.
After the opening (1968) of the Autonomous University of Madrid-UAM's School of Medicine close to the HULP campus, it becomes its clinical reference site. Many of HULP's practitioners also serve as Associate Lecturers at UAM. Provided by Wikipedia
