Our Story, Your Health: 25 Years of Medical Innovation at Quirónsalud Torrevieja Hospital

25th Anniversary Commemorative Mural – Quirónsalud Torrevieja Hospital

To mark its 25th anniversary, Quirónsalud Torrevieja Hospital has unveiled a commemorative mural that retraces, year by year, the key milestones that have shapedits history. Since its inauguration in 2000, the hospital has established itself as a benchmark in healthcare, grounded in medical excellence, clinical innovation, and personalised patient care. Under the motto “Our Story, Your Health”, the new mural – a visual timeline – offers patients, professionals, and visitors a look back at the definingmoments of its leadership, development, and commitment to advanced, human-centredmedicine.

25 Years Leading Change

The mural not only gathers together the most significant milestones since 2000, but alsostands as a testimony to the pioneering spirit that has characterised QuirónsaludTorrevieja Hospital since its foundation. Over the past 25 years, the hospital has consistently been ahead of its time, becoming the first in Spain to implement medical techniques and approaches that transformed the way patients were treated.

Among these achievements are: the introduction in 2001 of HIPEC (HyperthermicIntraperitoneal Chemotherapy) for peritoneal tumours; in 2004, the use of intraoperativeradiotherapy with a mobile accelerator (MOBETRON) – the first hospital in Spain toadopt this technology; the launch in 2007 of the first Genetic Counselling Unit in theValencian Community; and, in 2008, the arrival of the region’s first Da Vinci surgicalrobot. In 2009, the hospital carried out Spain’s first series of robotic surgeries forpancreatic cancer, and in 2010 it initiated an ambitious transcriptomics programme forpersonalised oncology care. More recently, in 2023, the hospital obtained JointCommission International (JCI) accreditation, and in 2025 began applying artificial intelligence to clinical diagnostics through tools such as the Scribe system, nowimplemented across all Quirónsalud centres. These are just a few examples of the manymilestones that have consolidated the hospital’s reputation as a benchmark in medical innovation, technical excellence, and patient-centred care.

Each of these milestones reflects a clear commitment to medical excellence, technologyat the service of the patient, and a forward-looking approach to health based onanticipation and continuous improvement.

12 Specialists, 12 Stories that Marked a Turning Point

The mural features 12 QR codes linking to a series of short videos in which the veryprofessionals who led these milestones explain their impact from a close and human perspective. Among them:

Through these videos, visitors can gain first-hand insight into what it meant for each ofthem to introduce techniques that were little known within Spanish healthcare at thetime, and how these decisions contributed to consolidating the hospital’s clinicalexcellence.

A Story that Continues: A Present with a Vision for the Future

The mural concludes with the most recent milestones, highlighting the integration ofartificial intelligence into patient records, structured clinical pathways, and a boldMaster Plan that will transform the hospital over the coming years. This plan includesexpanding the ICU, operating theatres, outpatient clinics, and critical care areas, alongside the construction of a new Emergency Department building and a therapeuticprocedures unit, among other initiatives.
